Then and Now and Then

By Joseph Sutton

I wish I coulda known ya 

There’s so much going on it’s almost mundane 

I love you, but what the fuck? 

Before I was born my dad was a champion 

He would travel to tournaments every day 

I wish I coulda known ya 

Now acting, or maybe trying to replace momma Sticking his dick in women that are insane 

I love you, but what the fuck? 

The momma I loved left when I was young 

She lost herself, like the desert mountain’s rain 

I wish I coulda known ya 

Now when she calls me, my nerves flare up 

Just in case this time, she speaks her hate

I love you, but what the fuck? 

In the end what’s behind is gunk 

And what’s now can end on any date 

I wish I coulda known ya 

I love you, but what the fuck?
