When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad

seems like total silence is the only friend I have

a bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won

and it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was havin' no fun

but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

step up to) C G

and you may see me tonight with an illegal smile

it don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while

won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone

no I was just tryin' to have me some fun

last time I checked my bankroll, well it was gettin' thin

sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've been

chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end

and all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

I sat down in my closet with all my overalls

just tryin' to get away from all the years inside these walls

dreamed the police heard everything I thought... what then?

well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman
