John Trainor

Who You Talking to?

Dont drink and dial

I thought my heart was broken
But now my heart is fixed
I wished I had a cocktail
And now the cocktail’s mixed.
I’ve finally reached the age,
To totally call bullshit.
No predetermined destiny.
No Answer! This is it!
There’s few who can gainsay me,
No queen or Dalai Llama.
We’re pretty close in age,
And neither is my Mama!
So please don’t tell me what to do
I’m pretty sure I won’t.
I’ll tell you just to fuck right off
Because I am a count!
