My Name Is Mathias by The Burning Hell Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2011

[Verse 1]
My name is Mathias, I came to say this
I've got a big bushy beard and kissable lips
I carry all my fat in my ass and my hips
The rest of me is skinny as a stick

[Verse 2]
In the sixties, my mom was hip and mini-skirted
She was raised as a catholic but then she converted
She loved my dad's religion, she loved him too
And that's how I was born a jew

[Verse 3]
They lived and went to school in Buffalo
But my dad, he decided that they had to go
'Cause the Vietnam war would not be good for his health
And that's how I was born in the Commonwealth

[Chorus]
Where we're born and when we die, we can't control that
And life in between is just war and combat
There are targets you can shoot for and mines to circumvent
But most of life is an accident
[Verse 4]
I've spent time in Peterborough and in Winnipeg
But leaving is living if you just use your legs
'Cause everywhere is nice if you drink enough beer
So some days I'm there and some days I'm here

[Verse 5]
Oh, but it's not about sowing my wild oats or whatever
'Cause I sowed my oats when I was young and I thought I was clever
And my oats all rotted in the field where they lay
So I'm oatless and unemployed these days

[Verse 6]
But I have a ukulele, I have a guitar
Though I don't have a house or a kid or a car
I'd like to keep it that way for as long as I can
But you know what they say about the best-laid plans

[Chorus]
Where we're born and when we die, we can't control that
Life in between is just war and combat
There are targets you can shoot for, mines to circumvent
But most of life is an accident

[Outro]
And an accident is somethin' that you don't plan
It's like the Y chromosome between a woman and a man
One day I might get hit by a bus or get cancer
But right now, all I am is a fabulous dancer
So dance with me, baby, put your hands on my hips
Kiss my aforementioned kissable lips
Wherever we are, baby, that's where we're at
My name is Mathias and I came to say that
