All of my days have been misspent Stuffing out the sofa and the antenna's bent Inside my heart's bustin' out at the seams I work for the impossible american dream I got a job at the grocery store A few bucks an hour and not much more The world comes in just to take things away They eat it all up and then they sleep into day I try not to care I would lose my mind Running 'round the same thing time after time Only two things bound to soothe my soul Cold beer and remote control Now once upon a time I was nobody's fool (once upon a fool) Two jobs and showing up for school I guess it comes apart so little by little You don't know your there till your stuck in the middle I try not to care I would lose my mind Running 'round the same thing time after time And only two things bound to soothe my soul Cold beer and remote control Sit down (sit down sit down) The room is dark (the room is dark) The blurry graffiti on the benches Across at the public park The plastic's black and buttoned (the plastic's black) The haze is blue (the haze is blue) And all I want is nothing to do 'cause it's a long walk to the bus stop It's a long wait for the turning clock It's a two-tired car sitting up on the blocks And things I put aside like that pile of rocks I try not to care I would lose my mind Running 'round the same thing time after time And only two things bound to soothe my soul Cold beer and remote control Yes I try not to care I would lose my mind (all of my days have been misspent) Running round the same thing time after time (stuffing out the sofa and the antennas bent) And only two things bound to soothe my soul (inside my hearts busting out at the seams) Cold beer and remote control (I work for the impossible american dream) Yeah Cold beer and remote control (I said I guess it comes apart so little by little yeah) Yeah Beer and remote control (I said I guess it comes apart so little by little yeah) Yeah
