Founding (and only consistent) member of The Real McKenzies, Paul McKenzie, with a life-reflection song. The song came out in 2005 when Paul was 44 according to an interview with Vandala Magazine.
I'm living up in Canada, and i'm Canadian
Scottish Canadian with opportunity
I could have been a manager of a brewery
Making beer for everyone but most of all for me
My father was a soda jerk, my mom an office clerk
But neither one of those was good enough for me
I could have moved into the hill, and ran a few stills
And made a fortune selling hooch beyond the law
Pour decisions, a punk musician just ain't as cute at 53
I used to be a lumberjack, and i'm ok with that
I wore suspenders, little panties, and a bra
I used to be a socialist, a sort of communist
Now i'm a pessimist and i don't care at all
I could have been a minister, a holy predator
A man of faith you really wouldn't want to meet
Perhaps a Scientologist, just as a hobbyist
And start a cult that's turning people into sheep
Pour decisions, a punk musician just ain't as cute at 53
I have forsaken money makin'
Yeah, you still wish you were me
The Real McKenzies released Pour Decisions on Tue Aug 23 2005.
