"You'd Think I'd Be Used to This"
[Kent]
When once again I'm unemployed/ You think I'd shrug/ and not get at all scared and annoyed/ You'd think for sure/ I'd laugh it off/ Not feel like a fuck up/ or a failure somehow 

You'd think I'd be used to this shit by now... 

When love don't last and it's just me/ You think I'd sing/ "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead" and feel free/ You'd surely think/ I'd be blase/ Not stare all day/at the face/ above my sink/ with the wrinkled brow/ 

You'd think I'd be used to this shit by now... 

Buyers, sires, liars, / why care who gives or makes/ or takes or breaks/ a sacred vow?/ 

You'd think I'd be used to this shit by now... 

Born a sentimental sap/ Born a dope/ Things go my way/ for more than a day and I get to hope/ I get to tell myself hey maybe I've finally/ found a home/ and then ha-ha-ha/ I'm shocked when once more/ the answer is "nope" 

Well life goes on and I will, too/ I know I'll smile/ again when the good times roll, I always do/ But I know it's so/ Come shine or rain/ my brain can't maintain "c'est la vie"/ holy smokes, holy cow/ 

You'd think I'd be used to this shit by now... 

Born a sentimental sap/ Born a dope/ Things go my way/ for more than a day and I get to hope/ I get to tell myself hey maybe I've finally/ found a home/ and then ha-ha-ha/ I'm shocked when once more/ the answer is "nope"
