LYRICS:

I caught a sermon on the mount of fairy hill
in a Mercury or a Lincoln, I can't see it
I was heaving on a handful of bitter pills
The rolling stone has landed, mankind's achievement

and I told a joke to a bum on school st in the winter
He quoted Shakespeare and pulled from his drank
'Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe'
then he ran off to go turn his crank

How fucked up have you got to be
to live a life like mine, a life like mine, a life like mine
How fucked up have you got to be
to live a life like mine, a life like mine, a life like mine

I played remorse and regret on weak frets
On mountain pawn credit dollar
i lost soldiers in there, holy man
If you see God tell it I want her

and i hid from big hands in a rec of a bathroom
6 micros in my nose, so i hear
echoes on space mountain further carry on the horror
bead lady amphetamine (queer)

How fucked up have you got to be
to live a life like mine, a life like mine, a life like mine
How fucked up have you got to be
to live a life like mine, a life like mine, a life like mine
to live a life like mine, a life like mine, a life like mine

I made clouds on wooden benches, son
In Wilson dead park fashion
there are ways and plans all out and for
but no one's put them into action

i made clay with sacred art students
played cards with drunk out bitches
i woke up dead couldn't feel my legs
am I in trousers jeans or britches

I first saw Jesse, in Riverside, CA, where I was that week in March 2024… my mom died that week & Jesse appeared in my Algorithm & his songs spoke truth and comforted me. I still miss my mom desperately and I love Jesse.❤❤❤

[MasonVanderpool]

Jesse is an absolutely awesome dude. Played many a show with him back when he was still in Fayetteville. Absolutely incredible songwriter

[sophiasometimes]

Such a freaking intelligent person seriously it’s interesting watching his old interviews and thinking about how he presents himself now he’s just like grown into a wiser, calmer confident person, but always real intelligent❤

[macadi]

How does this only have 76K views??? So so fycking underrated.

[spookistreet]

I've never witnessed a more perfect human

[awienc]

Man I envy people that knew about this all those years ago, I listened to that album few days ago and it’s my new favourite thing

[Ocelot]

Wow! Why am I only discovering this now seven years after it was released?!?! Jesse deserves success. It’s about time he gets the recognition he deserves.

[reflexflow]

I've just in the last month found the next Dylan and Prine in the Amazing Jesse Welles and now find out He started as a Rock God! I have to think he's going to shoot to the very top of the music industry in the very near future!

[JennyRosieRudy]

The floral designer side of me appreciates this stunningly haunting set design

[MuzzyZanders]

What an amazing way you did this and the subtle tone from Aint No Rest For The Wicked, Cage The Elephant ❤

[davidlanham]

How have I never heard of this guy until a week

[gooseinabush]

I am going to need a line of Welles merch immediately please

[spitfirered]

I love love this Video, You Blew My Mind Away Jesse!

[morningstarrbluefire]

Everything this young man does is golden ❤

[DaveONeillDrums]

This is a killer tune w great arranging, mixing, audio and vid production.

Cheers

[fwdcnorac]

It's time to get the band back together. We need you, Jesse!

[KalS-temd]

I love this song so much. He pretends to be a saint but as a bug from the depths of war and turmoil. He depicts nuclear war as if he were that of a radioactive bug with the blue face painting.

[BBCamaro]

'tis a shame they're not global while some so called artists lack 80% of the talent this guys have, love "seventeen" but this is a good song as well, well done welles, got a new fan.

[Crowfeather-vo]

YOU ARE WONDERFUL 🎉...love your use of phrigian scale

[troykotanen]

You are awesome bro. I seen you on Facebook and I followed there and now here. Rock on man!
