The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Rilo Kiley, "A Better Son/Daughter" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: Pardon Rilo Kiley's French.
"And sometimes when you're on,
You're really fucking on,
And your friends, they sing along and they love you.
But the lows are so extreme
That the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence.
"But you'll fight and you'll make it through,
You'll fake it if you have to,
And you'll show up for work with a smile,
And you'll be better and you'll be smarter,
And more grown up, and a better daughter
Or son, and a real good friend.
"You'll be awake, you'll be alert.
You'll be positive though it hurts.
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends.
You'll be a real good listener,
You'll be honest, you'll be brave,
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful.
You'll be happy…"
