about

I originally intended this album to be a collection of quiet, acoustic guitar based songs. That plan changed significantly after I wrote this particular song, which was loosely inspired by my brother, who, at one time in his life, lived like a movie star between movies. I wrote this song at 4 a.m. while under the influence of Prednisone (a synthetic corticosteroid drug), which my physician (and cousin) Matt prescribed for me to counteract the effects of a wicked bee sting.

lyrics

PROOF

All you crazy people who desire their inebriation
Haven’t got their facts straight or they haven’t got the information
And now I have to make a public service proclamation
You’d better listen or the bullet train will leave the station

This whiskey is idiot proof
This whiskey is idiot
Proof of an idiot
This whiskey is proof of an idiot
Idiot proof

All you crazy people who forgot to take your medication
Living like a movie star who’s always missing on location
Join the rank and file searching for a new vocation
Don’t you need a job before you take a long vacation?

What do you prove when you lose?
What do you prove when you use?
What do you prove when you snooze?

All you crazy people who think you don’t need an education
Living in a daze or else complain about the situation
They let the thing between their legs become infatuation
Serotonin, dopamine, intoxication, saturation

This drug store is idiot proof
This drug store is idiot
Proof of an idiot
This drug store is proof of an idiot
Idiot proof

What do you get when you lie?
What do you get when you cry?
What do you prove when you die?

This country is idiot proof
This country is idiot
Proof of an idiot
This country is proof of an idiot
Idiot proof

What do you prove when you lose?
What do you prove when you use?
What do you prove when you snooze?

That’s what you get when you lie
That’s what you get when you cry
That’s what you get when you die
