00:00I want to do a couple songs from this new record Critterland. I always want to
00:07write a song for bad fathers and well so this is for the bad fathers in the room
00:13you know who you are. It's called The Arrangements and it takes place at a
00:18funeral.
00:34He was dead inside my head long before he died so making the arrangements felt
00:42natural felt nice no medicine for saving him from cigs and booze and salt
00:49feels pretty nice to say I thought his sadness was my fault
00:58so let's pour one out for the bastard it's still sad when assholes die
01:07you can pour your drink out in the sink and go on and live your life
01:17I hear his drunk footfalls through bedroom walls I find comfort in the sound
01:27but I'm my own father now
01:36I was drooling I was foolish the first time that you saw me I said your eyes
01:43were like a Jersey cow your tongue so clean and country and all those drunk
01:48disasters did you ever feel the same do you think I want these feelings chose my
01:54face or chose my name
01:59so don't ask about blame or forgiveness it's still sad when bad love dies
02:11you think I'm full of shit so you're over it go on take the last word in my pride
02:20because I'm my father's spitting image that I spit upon the mirror
02:29and so the old man is still here
02:42and I know that I will go soon my heart's also not that strong it got written in the stars about a
02:50thousand light years long but I feel it all start to dissolve in the cemetery's rain and I ain't
02:57know about a million men that feel about the same so let's pour wine out for the bastard
03:11even bastards need their friends or you can pour your drink out in the sink
03:19you got the last laugh in the end
03:25all the arrangements are in order and I might pie the bar around
03:34because I'm my own father now
03:37so don't you ask about blame or forgiveness I ain't one for choosing sides
03:52he was full of shit and I'm over it I'm glad that I survived
04:00I see the earth did not crack open no one opened up the clouds
04:06yes it's all right I'm my own father now oh I'm my own father now
