No Lemonade for Me

Some like to make lemonade

And add a little sugar

They think it makes them noble to

Make it something new,

balance out the sweet and balance out the sour

They pretend that things are alright

All the while the bitters grows

It gnaws away at their every thought and every emotion.

Yet instead of making the sour sweet

I seem to see it as it really is

I choose to make the best of it.

So I never make lemonade out of lemons

I would rather sell the lemons

Upcharge for them, if you will

And proceeds will help me...

Endure the way things really are

No need for pretenses or seeing things through colored glasses

The lemon should be what it's meant to be

And so when life gives you lemons,

You exchange it for a dollar bill

And buy a sweet treat
