Brother in the drugstore falls behind. He’s got knuckles that no longer fit my eyes. Knuckles that a prizefighter can’t buy. **I got the world, so I’ll be fine. I got the sunshine to figure me out. I’m back to work. That’s over, Now all I want is fun. Yeah, my work ain’t hard, but it’s got to be done. Tommy left for war with no goodbye. I never got a chance to ask him why. But since Tommy always was a tough guy, I know it’s cuz he thought I’d see him cry. He had knuckles that could make the devil shy. Knuckles of a prizefighter held high. ** I got a war that I can’t fight. I got the sunshine to figure me out. I’m back to work. That’s over. Now all I want is fun. Yeah, my work ain’t hard, but it’s got to be done. ** _________ Written and performed by Trevor Powers (aka Youth Lagoon). Produced by Rodaidh McDonald and Trevor Powers.
