Lyrics:

Are you having a long day

Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way

Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray

Morning bells are ringing in your ears

Is your brother on a church kick

Seems like just a different kind of dopesick

Better off to teach a dog a card trick

Than try to have a point and make it clear

You should know, compared to people on a global scale,

Our kind has had it relatively easy

And here with you there's always something to look forward to

My angry heart beats relatively easy

I lost a good friend,

At Christmastime when folks go off the deep end

His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin

Enough to kill a man of twice his size

Not for me to understand

Remember him when he was still a proud man

A vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand

Nothing but the blue sky in his eyes

Still, compared to those a stones-throw away from you,

Our lives have both been relatively easy

Take a year and make a break there ain't that much at stake

The answers could be relatively easy

Watch that lucky man walk to work again

He may not have a friend left in the world

See him walking home again to sleep alone

I step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl

I broke the law, boys,

Shooting out the windows of my loft, boys

When they picked me up, I made a big noise

Everything to blame except my mind

I should say, I keep your picture with me every day

The evenings now are relatively easy

And here with you there's always something to look forward to

My lonely heart beats relatively easy

I just realized what I posted there that Louis c.k joke was not in context. White people problems were synonymous with American problems. He said in other countries people were worried about having clean water or starvation, and white people problems are that their phone takes to long to load the internet. It really puts things in context.

This is such a good song. I love every song he writes. I relate it it to how I feel when I have my daughter, and its something to know that no matter how it feels to be away from her her it's not that bad. Lois C.k would call these white people problems.

This is easily one of the best albums I've ever heard. I finally picked it up on vinyl (to supplement my CD).

Yet another wonderful composition. Seemingly effortless power that moves the individual. Makes me think one of best friends ever had.

Jason, brings the reality of life and the harshness of it into play with his music. But also seems to help dealing with it a bit easier. Thanks Jason for your wonderful music.

the understated lyric and tone befalls the import of the message and the song itself, this is sheer artistic genius.

He's got this way. It's like a hook. I see it's pretty, and it pulls you in and doesn't let go.
