The Clammer

from Wampum by Eastern Phoebes

/

lyrics

super fucking sunny day//clamming on the Great South Bay//out here there's nowhere to hide//grab your rake and curse the brown tide//a bushel may be good enough for you//a bushel's never good enough for me//I push myself to be all that I can//I push myself to be a man//I push myself to stay in demand//it's true//no one's ever questioned me before//never heard a criticism or//a compliment that shook me to the core//super fucking gloomy day//in my room I wish I'd stayed//out here there's nowhere to swim//so curse your rake the future's looking grim//the clams I catch won't feed my family//the clams I catch will surely damn me//I damn myself for being a good guy//I damn myself without a reason why//it's true//no one's ever questioned me before//never heard a criticism or//a compliment that shook me to the core//supply and demand//the financial strain//the substantial pain//of being your own boss//I never wanted the clam life.
