THE ABBREVIATORS LYRICS

"Greg"

You didn’t know Greg but Greg was a patriot, not like those assholes flying flags all claim to be. A patriot of more life and love than most of us could ever hope to know and it’s with the greatest regrets I took for granted the short time we had.

I didn’t witness the shots that would take a young life but I heard them through late night phone calls. It was with naiveté of youth that I assumed you’d be fine… I didn’t make your recovery but I made your funeral.

There’s a gravestone in a cemetery I have never seen and buried underneath it lays a soldier who did not succumb to war. Well, despite all my searching all I have are these faded memories of a cramped Denny’s booth where we traded stories and cigarettes.

I still live by advice that you gave me that night, how I should eat, sleep and fuck when I can. Don’t stress the small things in life and I’ll get by just fine. Well I’ll drink to the better days and regrets we’re living with.

Thanks to Agent 12 for these lyrics
