Lyrics and music by Amy Alvey and Rachel Baiman
Mild Windigo Publishing ASCAP
Things that remind me of dreams now behind me
Conveniently hidden from sight
For the time and the money it would almost be funny
If I could just sleep through the night
CHORUS:
But I’m bitter
Bitter as they come
Bitter as the cold northern sun
I’m a quitter
Easy said and done
At the end of the day I lay down my gun
I had a vision a kind of religion
What makes life worth living should pay
But I found no reason nothing to believe in
Just men getting rich in my shade
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I’ve been used like a jukebox and played like a stage prop
I’ve shouldered it all and walked on
The drum I was beating got lost in its meaning
How hardened my heart has become
I’m bitter as bit ter does
Once it was written the machine has grown smitten
Rolling stone said that I would go far
But the dog still needs feeding and with ends hardly meeting
I stopped counting on my lucky stars
CHORUS
Now I’m bitter
I’m bitter
Now I’m bitter
I’m bitter
