Life's A Bitch; I Hope You Die
by Laura Farr
You're a hangnail on a pinky
King zit on pizza face's nose
A dirty port-o-potty
Where the sickest tourists go
You're the pus of gingivitis
And a patch of yellow snow
You're the itchy burning fungus
Between an athlete's sweaty toes
You're the reason life is hard
But I know this much is true
I survive when shit happens
And I'll get over you
You're the scum worth skimming off
The filthy sludge of stagnant pools
You're the sticky snot I toss away
On kleenexes I used
You're the red spot on new white capris
And the rusty toilet ring
You're the phlegm that chokes me up
The moment before I sing
You're the reason life is hard
But I know this much is true
I survive when shit happens
And I'll get over you
Life's a bitch, oh well
I hope you die
