James and the Shame
Give a Damn
[Verse 1]
Ain't it funny how some guys who lived
Well before your time
Make you think what you think
God thinks about wine
The kind of thing will draw you in
And you are like me
Why live for the here and now
When you've got eternity?
[Pre Chorus 1]
They say your life unexamined
Is a life that's not worth living
But I'm pretty sure I grayed my beard
With all these fucks I've given
[Chorus 1]
I can't help but give a damn
But damn, sometime I wish I didn't
First time I heard about the great beyond
I was surely smitten
I could be one of the chosen few
Be on the front lines
I've got something in my pocket
That'll give sight to the blind
[Verse 2]
I grew up and read some stuff
Outside the good book
Shaken to my very core
I took another look
I've been wrong and they've been right
One thing still remains
If you're the one who's got the truth
You gotta set people straight
[Pre Chorus 2]
They say your life unexamined
Is a life that's not worth living
But I'm pretty sure I'll gray your beard
With all these fucks I'm giving
[Chorus 2]
I can't help but give a damn
But damn, sometimes I wish I didn't
First time I saw someone's eyes light up
I was surely smitten
I could be one of the chosen few
Be on the front lines
I've got this little article
That just might change your mind
[Chorus 3]
I can't help but give a damn
But damn, sometimes I wish I didn't
First time I heard of the great beyond
I was surely smitten
I could be one of the chosen few
Be on the front lines
I've got this little molecule
That just might change your mind
