[Verse 1] The streets of the future littered with remains Of both the fools and all the so called brains The whole prediction is enough to kill But only God knows if it won't or it will
[Chorus 1] Nobody knows why we fell so flat Some silly creature said we'd never crack Most would just survive and then bounce back But the rest are crying "Why'd I fall for that crap" Why did I fall for that?
[Verse 2] So many rash promises sincerely made By people who believed that we were being saved They made us all believe that we were acting white But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
[Chorus 2] Nobody knows why we fell so flat We're impotent and neutered like whining cats We've found the piper but we've lost the rats But the kids are crying "Why'd you fall for that Dad?" Why did you fall?
It never rains under my umbrella
[Verse 3] Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day Maybe if we smile the clock will fade away Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse Maybe as a word, maybe maybe's a curse
[Chorus 3] Nobody knows why we fell so flat We've never been taught to fight or to face up to facts We simply believe that we'd remain intact But history is asking why'd you fall for that?
[Outro] Why did you fall? Why did I fall for that [x3]

This song popped into my head today and it matched my thoughts. Seemed like a good one for a hangout New Years Ever thread.
This is Doc: Last night one of Jim's friends and his wife invited us out for dinner and drinks. Jim was incapacitated from his back problems and declined. They wanted me to go alone with them and leave Jim at home.
WTF did they think was going to happen? Get me drunk and get involved in a threesome? I was a bit nonplussed at the prospect and offended. Jim has some unsavory friends. While I was with my children today he was telling me that his biker buddies that he was with wanted me to come over and have topless pictures taken of me on their harleys.
Jim seems to be out of his element. He's never been what I suppose you call a gentleman, but he was always a gentle man.
Last night when I got to his house he had a package on his porch that I brought in. It was a package from his sister of presents. We had fun looking through the things.
One of the things that got him crying was a Trump calendar. When I asked him WTF are you crying about he told me how he felt so bad about how badly he felt and was ashamed how Trumps wife was treated and how he wished that he could apologize to her in person. He's been deeply hurt somewhere in the past.
Great, make me feel even more isolated about being a cripple :)
I did manage to get the spics next door to shut the fuck up, I set off a dozen cherry bombs at 3:00am. 122 more days of it and they might get the point, stupid fucking savages...
Doc: I'm not sure what Jim has told you about his accident ten years ago but I almost lost him for good back then. When he was admitted it was listed as a vehicular suicide attempt which was later corrected.
The other noteworthy thing was that his wife told the the staff not to administer any painkillers because he was a drug addict. I don't think that's the case.
I honestly think that if Jim wanted to commit suicide that he could will himself to stop breathing. He's an interesting character. I've learned that when he talks I'd better listen. I thought I lost him last week when he kicked me out and told me to get my children under control.
