Lyrics

Whatever, like I said

You don't listen to me, don't listen to me

I don't know what's going on

I'm just living my life, man, you know?

Keeping my life small

I'm just working on my home life, and, uh

It's been working out good for me like right now, currently, you know?

'Cause the relationship is alive, man, right?

Currently, I am getting along with my wife better

Than I ever have in the 20 years that I've known her

Yeah

Yeah, I figured something out

I figured something out

Basically, what happened was a friend of mine died, right?

I'm up that age, you know?

It's starting to happen, I'm 56, right?

Which, granted, this is too young to die of natural causes

But it's not too young to drop dead, right?

Like, as a man, I am in my drop-dead years

Which are basically ages 49 to about 61, you know?

Anything past that, you're just looking at like a prolonged illness, you know?

But these are the years that men drop dead

And dropping dead is, is a uniquely male experience, right?

Women don't drop dead!

When was the last time you were out to brunch

And there was some woman, "Hey, can I get a mimosa?"

And just grabs her chest, face down into some tapas

Oh my God! Caffeine!

Right?

They don't!

Men drop dead all the fucking time!

You're out there on the golf course, some guy fucking

All of a sudden, they're just fucking into the shrubs

Another guy driving at you in a car, and his buddy just falls out the side

What happened? You know what happened

He never cried

That's what happened

And he held on to it

You know, he was fucking putting his pants on

And he just rolled back on the bed

He never got back up again

It can happen

Like, I'll give you a scenario

Let's say, you know, I'm upstairs in the bathroom

My wife's downstairs making me breakfast, right?

It's a fantasy, you know?

Let's pretend women still cook for their men

She's post-mating something, and she's heating it up in the microwave

That's my love language, right?

And I'm upstairs in the bathroom

And all of a sudden, she just hears a big thud on the floor

And it's just like, "Honey? Honey, was that you?

This isn't funny! Honey!"

Right? And next thing you know, you're at my funeral

It happens just like that

And somebody's trying to put a positive spin on it

You know, he died doing what he loved

Trimming his pubes in the upstairs bathroom while listening to ACDC

You know, my favorite guy at the funeral

Is the guy who tries to figure out exactly what happened

Like it's a Law & Order episode

You know, I think what happened was

He was looking down at what he was doing

And his head's heavy, you know? And he got on his toes

He lost his balance and whacked his head on the sink

And it came flying back, and there was no back mat

And you know what, that, that, that's kind of what happened

So anyway, I lose another friend

My buddy dies, I show up to the funeral

Open casket, it's last year, 2023

Open casket, we're still doing that?

Huh? I've never understood open casket

I don't get it, it's like, you told me he was dead

I believed you!

What is this, some asshole coming in?

I'm calling bullshit, all right?

No, no, he had a lot of credit card debt

He wasn't getting along with his wife

Perfect candidate to fake his own death

All right, let's go, open it up

Open it up, let's see what you got

Let's see what you got

All right, that's pretty good, pretty good

He looks pretty dead

But you know, Frank likes to fuck around

So leave it open, let's see what we got

Dude, they left it open

They had my buddy propped up

Like he was watching SportsCenter for like, 90 minutes

Fucking sitting there, looking at the side of my friend's dead head

Like, why do I need that on the memory bank, you know?
