I'm an amateur with no plans to be anything else. I don't write much these days, but in my younger, less stable days I felt moved to write songs to express what was in my head.

Story behind the song
This is the sister song to "Not Much." It's about the things my peers and I were taught growing up that didn't quite pan out. Written 1995.
Lyrics
She loves you for your mind but she is with you for the cash You'll only cut your feet if you wear slippers made of glass Diamonds are forever but love usually is not and if you get divorced that two months' salary is shot Cheaters prosper and crime does pay and happy endings aren't the normal way Ugly ducklings become ugly swans and when you die you're simply dead and gone If you drink the silver bullet it will only slow you down Marlboro country is six feet underground I'd like to buy the whole wide world an ice-cold coke but the starving kids in Africa might think that it's a joke Grade school taught us about liberty but to take a pi** we had to ask a teacher The founding fathers made our country great and the slaves they owned kept their houses straight Sugar in a bowl of milk won't help you win the game Kiss a frog a thousand times, it will still look the same I've never seen a tortoise that could outrace a hare I saw one on the highway, it was smashed beyond repair Steroids gave He-Man his muscle tone and Barbie's chest was full of silicone Rudolph's nose was a deformity and they laughed at him until it helped them see
