Common Knowledge - Conor Oberst (康纳·奥博斯特)[00:00:00]
He's my friend but he's no friend to me[00:00:42]
Ask him why he'll tell you casually[00:00:50]
Washed up bitter broken busted[00:00:58]
Backstabbed anyone he trusted[00:01:02]
Says he sees what no one else can see[00:01:06]
If I had half his guts I'd want it[00:01:14]
To chase that fatalistic comet[00:01:18]
And die young in the dark [00:01:22]
That's poetry[00:01:24]
But it was not to be[00:01:29]
It was not for me[00:01:33]
He's always sad [00:01:46]
But I've never seen him cry[00:01:48]
When he comes too sure he'll apologize[00:01:54]
Find his car assess the damage[00:02:02]
Still drunk but he likes a challenge[00:02:06]
Holds onto his mind just like a kite[00:02:10]
But a good strong wind will keep you honest[00:02:17]
Fill you with some common knowledge[00:02:22]
Things when we were young we never tried[00:02:26]
Just figured we had time[00:02:33]
With such a long life[00:02:37]
Money clips alligator shoes[00:02:50]
One more dance [00:02:58]
He's in that champagne room[00:02:59]
Where she moves like a chocolate fountain[00:03:06]
Pouring spilling all around him[00:03:10]
Makes him wonder what else she could do[00:03:14]
How bittersweet is love's illusion[00:03:21]
Feelings that cannot be proven[00:03:26]
Trust me you'll see my aim is true[00:03:29]
I've done this all for you[00:03:37]
I suffered long for you[00:03:41]
So many times he's tried to play it straight[00:03:54]
Worked and worked until his body ached[00:04:02]
But a brand new life can lose its luster[00:04:09]
Troubles tend to find each other[00:04:13]
Call it luck or you can call it fate[00:04:18]
But either way it's how it happens[00:04:25]
Not the way that you imagined[00:04:29]
Or just go out with a bang like Hemingway[00:04:33]
Some will say you're brave[00:04:40]
Some will say you ain't[00:04:44]
