Debbie dates daily with a boy for every finger She leaves with one now and leaves another left to linger Coldly Debbie tells me it's a world of give & take But I say: "Debbie, bring it closer to the wake." CHORUS In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place People hurting one another, no care for another Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now… People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake Billy blows bubbles that are filled with marijuana To rebel from all the troubles he was chained to by his mama Sadly Billy tells me that his happiness is fake But I say Billy, bring it closer to the wake CHORUS Jason jets his jag up to speeds that's past eleven Jason buys a house that makes him feel like he's in heaven Bills been paying Jason, Bills friends are Jason's take But I just talked to Bill, Jason's further from the wake CHORUS Now you & I have been through much, we've both had Debbie's problem And we've both used Bills eyes to find our troubles & try to solve them But let's not use each other, for Jason's world was fake Only we can work together and bring us closer to the wake
