“Well the green room girls don’t got a whole lot to say
Because you look like hell and you smell like yesterday
You’re surrounded by rock and roll martyrs
stuck up there on the wall
Lined up like the righteous
and waiting for the next big call
Don’t it seem like the stickers stuck around
a little longer than the bands who put em there?
You’re betting you’ll be the next in line,
but you can’t find the strength to care
‘Cuz you’re missing all the things in life
that you never thought you would
So take a shower, and call your mom
You ain’t livin like you should.
So you stumble to the motel
and you can’t find the keys to your room
And I guess it don’t matter
cuz dawn will be coming soon
You just hang your head and you sigh
as you think of six days on the road
It will take more than double yellows
to get your ass back home
You’ve been wearing out your welcome
much like a February snow
So impure and so un-driven
and with no place else to go.
It’s getting harder and harder to tell
if you’re lost or just no good
So take a shower, and call your mom
You ain’t livin like you should.”
Life in Shambles first appeared on Sons of Bill’s 2010 EP appropriately titled Take a Shower. Call Your Mom. Your Life is in Shambles. A new version is going to have a home on their third album, which is set to be released this year. The band launched a Kickstarter campaign earlier today to fund the release. Check out the video by Rich Tarbell below and look at what their offering to their backers. You could get yourself a living room concert and a lecture about Faulkner!
