lyrics

I don't wanna play music, I just wanna play some video games
and get drunk all day and watch TV, live life on holiday
I hate this stupid haircut but I can't afford a new one
I can't pay my bills or fix my gear, but life keeps on a-movin'

The grayness in my body woulda told you I was dead
I've got no confidence or common sense just cancelled insurance
resting easy without box springs cause I'm one with the floor
always looking down, not looking out while still hoping for more
I listened to my inner child and he gave me bad advice

I've got empathy and anger all welled up in my eyes
the speed limit's 80 but I'm going 89
I'm on my way, hard earned pay is harder than it was
you could slave away forever and you'll still come up with none

I don't wanna play music, I just wanna play some video games
and get stoned all day with Dan and Jay, and watch a bad movie
I'm aching with excitement and I'm holding on to you
won't you hang around awhile I'll fix myself for you
won't you hang around, I'll fix myself for you
