Lyrics Thumbs Off - The Clean

Thumbs Off

This little boy’s like all the rest
Cause he knows just what’s inside him
He’s never been put to the test
Cause he knows just where to find them
All his life he’s had it easy
You know he’s never had no problems
The house he lived in was so sleazy
But he still kept 'em coming
And who’s gonna pay your bills today?
And who’s gonna turn the girls away?
And who’s gonna make you feel okay?
And who’s gonna take your pills today?
And you know it can’t be me
Yeah, you know it can’t be me
Sometimes I just feel too much
And I don’t want to feel at all
He said to his mother one day, you know
«Mum, I really think I’m different»
She said, «Son, you’ll have to go
You know, it’s costing too much to keep you.»
The day was wet as he walked down the road
You know his head was full of sorrow
Little did he know he’d never see
His own home again
And who’s gonna pay your bills today?
And who’s gonna turn the girls away?
And who’s gonna make you feel okay?
And who’s gonna take your pills today?
And you know it can’t be me
Yeah, you know it can’t be me
Sometimes I just feel too much
And I don’t want to feel at all
He said to his friends, «Come on, let’s go
I’ll take you to the show now
They said, «No, no, look here my friend
You make me feel much older»
They left him alone sitting on the road
You know, his head was full of bourbon
Little did he know they’d never see
The ones he knew so well
And who’s gonna pay your bills today?
And who’s gonna turn the girls away?
And who’s gonna make you feel okay?
And who’s gonna take your pills today?
And you know it can’t be me
Yeah, you know it can’t be me
Sometimes I just feel too much
And I don’t want to feel at all
