[Verse 1]
Curmudgeon, my new religion
I wake up mean in the kitchen
Grateful? You mean hateful
Smile at me, I break the table
Let go? You know.
I hold a grudge like gold
Old bones, cold tongue
Still biting when I’m done
[Pre-Chorus]
In my curmudgeon era
I wear it like armor
Say my name, say it louder
I only get harder
[Chorus]
In my curmudgeon era
I’m a terror
Cranky? Maybe
Gettin' old and crusty
In my curmudgeon era
I’m a terror
Curmudgeon, my new religion
Curmudgeon, my new religion
[Verse 2]
Boots on the floorboards
Coffee gone black
Patience in the gutter
Ain’t no goin’ back
Grateful? You mean hateful
That’s the joke I live
If the world wants sweet
I got nothin’ to give
[Pre-Chorus]
In my curmudgeon era
I wear it like armor
Say my name, say it louder
I only get harder
[Chorus]
In my curmudgeon era
I’m a terror
Cranky? Maybe
Gettin' old and crusty
In my curmudgeon era
I’m a terror
Curmudgeon, my new religion
Curmudgeon, my new religion
[Bridge]
Let go? You know.
I tried that once and laughed
If the light gets kinder
I still take the dark path
[Breakdown]
Grateful? You mean hateful
Hate it, wear it, breathe it
Curmudgeon!
Curmudgeon!
[Final Chorus]
In my curmudgeon era
I’m a terror
Cranky? Maybe
Gettin' old and crusty
In my curmudgeon era
I’m a terror
Curmudgeon, my new religion
Curmudgeon, my new religion
