Gerry Built from Kanandah by Ben Mason

Making things is easy if you've got the time
With a little bit of nous, build yourself a house
But with three young boys, a procrastinating dad
Trying to pave his way could take a whole decade

Pissing on a lemon tree can do some good
All that nitrogen compound, soaking in the ground
But if three young boys and their alcoholic dad
Start spraying it around, they'll burn it to the ground

I was doomed right from the start
With my Gerry built brain and disconnected heart
I don't blame anybody else
I wont complain, I built this life myself

Making friends is easy if you've got the time
That old gift of the gab, will keep them coming back
But with three young boys and a wife at her wits' end
Trying to keep a friend could send you 'round the bend

I was doomed right from the start
With my Gerry built brain and disconnected heart
I don't blame anybody else
I wont complain, I built this life myself
