Polished Version – Lifting the Tar [Intro] All I know… yeah… Lifting the tar… Tish The Dish… [Chorus] All I know is I don’t know how to give a fuck All I know is I don’t know how to give a fuck Lifting this tar off my heart and my scars Scraping the scum, coming straight for my stars [Verse 1] Feeling so free as I’m lifting thee Like a butterfly covered in tar George Brett’s bat swinging back hard New York spot, but I’m striking my own spark Took Dawn and Rose like the rising sun That son tried to kill my light — but I took flight Splifted, uplifted, scraping this thickness Put it all in a jar — now watch me dismiss it [Chorus] [Verse 2] Approaching fifty-five, never driving just fifty-five I lift and strive, spark my own light Struggles don’t appeal, they think I’m crazy But here’s the deal — I’m not everyone’s cup of tea Green tea mango with that Irish twist GenX flare, curly hair, auburn roots Latchkey kid reading the room Clueless I was the after-school special Groomed in silence — now I break the boundary [Bridge] Bad Matt the cockroach, Serene Dorrine on the pill Sue spewing lies just to steal from Dad I give zero fucks — you gave zero back Lifting myself up so others can rise too Tearing down walls — exposing what’s hollow in you [Final Chorus] All I know is I don’t know how to give a fuck All I know is I don’t know how to give a fuck Lifting this tar off my heart and my scars I’m coming for my stars… watch me rise
