Verse #1:
I can't go to work
The boss is a jerk
I ain't got time for this school
Ah, the fuckers are fools
Verse #2:
Lie around with the T.V. on
I don't do nothin', I just hang around
Waitin' for your call
But I don't know where to fall*
Verse #3:
It's no use
I can't take no more abuse
I'm tired of the fuckin' lines
Ah, I'm losin' my mind
Verse #4:
Kickin' out the jams*
Really who remembers?
I play guitar for my car*
And I won't get very far
