lyrics

the past is kicking my ass today
the past is dragging me down
the past won't give me a pass today,
he's got me handcuffed in the back and we are going downtown
the past is kicking my ass today
the past is calling me names
the past is throwing banana peels in my path,
and roasting me on a spit, and dropping me into the flames

the past is kicking
the past is kicking
the past is kicking my ass.
the past is kicking
the past is kicking
the past is kicking my ass.

the past is kicking my ass today
he's gonna swallow me whole
the past came moving in fast, and he is playing for keeps
and he is taking control
the past is kicking my ass today
he's keeping me on the ropes
I don't know how long I'll last, today
trying to fight the good fight while he's pulverizing all of my hopes

the past is kicking
the past is kicking
the past is kicking my ass.
the past is kicking
the past is kicking
the past is kicking my ass.

and I know deep down the past is dead and gone and out of sight
and I know deep down the past is over and done
so why is it that the past keeps coming, spoiling for a fight
and even when I beat him back for just a moment then it still feels like he’s won?

The past is kicking my ass today
The past is calling the shots
He’s got his finger on the button of the slide projector
Showing me the evidence until I can connect all the dots
The past is kicking my ass today
I’ve taken all I can take
I hope he runs out of gas today
‘Cause I gotta work tomorrow and I need a little bit of a break
