Lyrics
I was just fifteen, at my cousin's - we were playing When we found Uncle Buzz dead in the basement Dad shut the door and no one said that word, that word We found a note that he wrote on the mantle And I felt like sh*t 'cause I wanted his piano But I got his records and his arch-top Kay guitar Goodbye Uncle Buzz, I know I should've cried But I couldn't just because Goodbye Uncle Buzz, everything's covered But nothing's what is was Nothing's what it was, nothing's what it was The paper said he died from hypertension And the word "suicide" was never mentioned Mom said it was his heart I guess it was in a way, in a way I played his records on our Sears turntable Heard Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke, and Mavis Staples And I tried his old guitar But it wasn't what the Beatles played anyway Goodbye Uncle Buzz, I know I should've cried But I couldn't just because Goodbye Uncle Buzz, everything's covered But nothing's what is was Nothing's what it was, nothing's what it was
