Certain Tired Words

from Difficult To Like (demos) by David Safran

/

lyrics

“Karen went to the store.”
Lovely way to start a song.
Lines I used to abhor
I now consider strong.

You have the greatest mouth in music.
There’s pride in your voice as well.
You are untouched by your times, but know this:
You are touched by everything else.

You don’t slide towards desperation.
You never really let on
That you hate your generation,
And you’re afraid of the next one.

But out among the Muses,
There’s no dispute, I’m sure –
A nearly perfect verse is:
“Karen went to the store.”
