lyrics

Speeding down the highway to work at 6AM
It's cigarettes and an apple for breakfast again
I've cut out the apples since I don't know when
Now I'm coughin' it out more than I breathe it in

I don't take the elevator down anymore
'Cause I'm always late and I don't wanna wait on the 4th floor
Clock in and turn off me for awhile
Try to hide my hate behind my smile

Ooooo well sometimes I get down
And it's so hard to get back up
Ooooo well thanks for sticking around
When I get hung up on feeling stuck

Open up a ketchup can and leave on the lid
Suit man says that's an accident waiting to happen, so let it
Today's prize was a free burger and eight dollars in tips,
A live video transmission of my love licking her lips

I got those concrete shoes, I got those cement blues
Don't wanna spend another summer in the southern California suburbs
Was I born to lose or did I hit the snooze
And forget to take my finger off the button?

Ooooo well sometimes I get down
And it's so hard to get back up
Ooooo well thanks for sticking around
When I get hung up on feeling stuck
