Andrew Bird – Wishing For Contentment lyrics

Wishing for contentment
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment
On the happy few

Awaiting resolution
And dreams of retribution
Finding restitution's
Just another thing to do

You've got to keep yourself busy
Visit aunt Lizzy
Just see how she's been
But when you're making a late run
Two judgmental matrons retort
See what I mean?

A seeming reprobation
Perhaps it's my vocation
A nauseouselation
Comes to mind but fades so soon
