all of the lyrics to 'Only You' by Steve Monrite

and before you get any ideas let me be so fucking clear:

my dad didn't help me my family didn't help me i didn't borrow a single dollar from anybody but the bank.

my dad was a public school teacher.

-

i only have a responsibility to write what i feel and what i feel is actually this,
is actually the mouth-full hubris and self-congratulation:

my grandmother was a migrant farmworker
and now all of this.

my daddy didn't fucking help me.

-

it's been years now and i can't stop writing like this
i'm the man who invented fire but instead of learning to cook
or keep others warm
i just stare and stare and stare
