Kurt Vile - That's Life, tho (almost hate to say) Lyrics

When I go out, I take pills to take the edge off
For to just take a chillax, man, forget about it
Just a certified badass out for a night on the town
Ain't it oh-exciting, the way one can fake their way through life
Hey, but that's neither here nor there
In a way how could one ever prove you're just putting them all on

That's life, tho
Almost hate to say
That's life, tho
In every brutal way

From Hoist Point I hang glide into the Valley of Ashes
Just as Powderhead has long been burned to the ground
Yeah with fire, with fire
A chosen one just leveled the farm
I guess hell has finally frozen over
I wanna run into the rolling hills along some mid-western highway
But there are scorpions out there
There was a man who touched the lives of many
And when he died he left so many people cryin'

That's life, tho
So sad, so true
That's life, tho
So sad to say

Stay Puff was on top of the world
Then he fell all the way back down naturally
The laws of physics have shown that a man must walk through life via peaks and valleys
There was a man, a big ol' hearted man that we all put on a pedestal
And when he left this earth, well he left so many loved ones behind ('hind)

That's life, tho
Hate to point out the painfully obvious
That's life, tho
So sad, so true
That's life, tho
That's life, tho
That's life, tho
Almost hate to say
