Kurt Vile – That's Life, Tho (Almost Hate To Say) lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I go out, I take pills to take the edge off
For to just take a chillax, man, forget about it
Just a certified badass out for a night on the town
Ain't it oh-exciting, the way one can fake their way through life
Hey, but that's neither here nor there
In a way how could one ever prove you're just putting them all on

[Chorus]
That's life, tho
Almost hate to say
That's life, tho
In every brutal way

[Verse 2]
From Hoist Point I hang glide into the Valley of Ashes
Just as Powderhead has long been burned to the ground
Yeah with fire, with fire
A chosen one just leveled the farm
I guess hell has finally frozen over
I wanna run into the rolling hills along some mid-western highway
But there are scorpions out there
There was a man who touched the lives of many
And when he died he left so many people cryin'

[Chorus]
That's life, tho
So sad, so true
That's life, tho
So sad to say

[Verse 3]
Stay Puff was on top of the world
Then he fell all the way back down naturally
The laws of physics have shown that a man must walk through life via peaks and valleys
There was a man, a big ol' hearted man that we all put on a pedestal
And when he left this earth, well he left so many loved ones behind ('hind)

[Chorus]
That's life, tho
Hate to point out the painfully obvious
That's life, tho
So sad, so true
That's life, tho
That's life, tho
That's life, tho
Almost hate to say
