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 TV 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
