Verse #1:

I can't go to work
The boss is a jerk
I ain't got time for this school
Ah, the ***ers are fools

Verse #2:

Lie around with the T.V. 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 ***in' 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
