| Watching TV with the sound down
|
| Listening to Primus on repeat
|
| Scraping resin with the antenna
|
| A fresh bag could be another week. |
| .
|
| Crashing out on the couch
|
| You found curbed in the suburbs
|
| Your roommate just became your ex
|
| Her new man’s taking over your bed
|
| You’re so bored with everything
|
| You used to dream in color, so American
|
| Reds and whites and blues, but mostly green
|
| Until you learned economy is just a Ponzi scheme
|
| Burnt out, burnt out
|
| It’s hard to give a shit
|
| Burnt out, burnt out
|
| When it’s easier to quit
|
| What’s effort going to get me?
|
| Responsibility?
|
| Another job?
|
| Some shitty job?
|
| Making out with whoever’ll have me
|
| Drinking with whoever gets the drinks
|
| America on a dollar a day
|
| One buck, a dozen hush puppies
|
| Bought an ax
|
| Bought an amp
|
| In the back kicking out the jams
|
| 30 pack of Natty Light
|
| 9.99's going to pull us through the night
|
| I’ve worked each restaurant from downtown to the lake
|
| Raking in the minimum wage
|
| Doing part-time at 3.25
|
| Became 4.25
|
| Burnt out, burnt out
|
| These jobs are fucking jokes
|
| Burnt out, burnt out
|
| The dollar is a hoax!
|
| What’s a degree get me?
|
| Opportunity?
|
| A foot in the door?
|
| The doors are closed
|
| So burn out, burn out
|
| Burn out, burn out
|
| What’s effort going to get me?
|
| Responsibility?
|
| Another job?
|
| Another job?
|
| Another job?
|
| Another job?
|
| Some shitty job?
|
| Another job. |
