I Use to Be August

Like Joseph Stalin I've faded I've fallen

I use to be august I use to be august

Mr. chairman of the board it all started with a major chord

I was so taken in ignored those tiny weeping violins

But since I hit rock bottom all I want to know is

Who moves my legacy along now that my friends I thought were friends are gone?

I wish I could see we always have a song to sing

You will always have loving to bring

And there will always be people beautiful faces

Passing us on the side walk going to other places

I'm just like the next man

No real reason for me to be stressed about it

The world spins fast those kinks won't last

I'll come to terms with myself and my past and sing

Like Joseph Stailin I've faded I've fallen

I use to be august I use to be august

Now washed up retired my shelf-life expired

I use to be august I use to be august

I remember the machine

See my folks were working class

The papers read I was

Stops then comes the day

Like Joseph Stailin I've faded I've fallen

I use to be august I use to be august
