Living with you was the gum on my shoe
Who knew Kingston would put us to bed?
My communist brother, my Earth fairy mother
He was only alive in our heads

Now uncles and aunties to raise up the families
Are sapping an old metal pale
Utopian dreams that would grow us some green
Like the chicken shit under the kale

And it's not hard to say goodbye
It's hard to say goodbye sometimes
Now it's not hard to say
Goodbye

Oh, we steal like a seagull 'til our dreams become legal
We'll barter for the rest of our lives
Cooperative living on some bastard Thanksgiving
That we carve with our grandparents' knives

Oh, we shake up the lettuce, now which one is daddy?
Unschool them 'til their brains hit the floor
But we don't have the skill or the cast iron will
To keep us that happy or poor

Now it's not hard to say goodbye
And it's hard to say goodbye sometimes
Now it's not hard to say
Goodbye
