Still Fighting It Lyrics

Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt

Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95
It's okay, you don't have to pay

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up

    This song was written for Ben Fold's son. It's basically warning him about how painful life and growing up are, and apologizing that he will have to go through it all.
