you got yr day job, didn't think it'd be like that
you wanted nights off but now yr just tired and borin-
side yr head it's only young adult fiction
it's pretty basic, but it's pretty goddamn important
you with yr candy pants and all yr bold faced lies
smoking yr cigarettes chasing yr summer nights
you opened up and sewed yrself shut
you've got me talking to myself in the mirror
i fucking hate that
i only do that when i'm faded
[yr] wiry frame up where you hang up yr anger
it's getting grizzly
but we always trim this shit down
[pants lies cigs nights]
you opened up n sewed yrself shut
you were tucking yr tail
and had yr nose on the rail
you opened up and sewed yrself shut
life was checkin' yr chin
so hard it left yr head spinnin'
you've opened up n sewn yrself shut
i eat totino's while i watch my ted-x's
they make me feel smarter
but the work's already been done
you got me hot me taught me whiskey n water
the damage done did but
we [never/always] know when to quit
[candy pants smoking summer]
*chorus*
[fun instrumental outro]

i don't know why but this particular day
something about you just seemed different to me
i didn't know that you could talk that way
you were a real good person with real bad taste and
you could say that this is easy for me but
you were running out of gasoline
i got home, and you were stuck in the driveway
had a problem, call it falling in live
ya got stoned, but it was never enough
you said "you're kinda cute but you drink too much
and all you do is get faded and complain about stuff," and
what you said it wasn't some small thing
yr not the queen of my heart
i'm not yr dancehall king
we got dropped
and we could hardly stand up
so you go. oh oh oh. you say "wait" (lotta waits)
it got easier but you still wish you had stayed
it got dirtier you said "babe you keep me clean"
but i was barely awake anyway
then you found me on a different day, i got drowned
it was a difficult way to go out
when i could hardly stand up
if i'm yr favorite don't call it surprise
don't wait up--you might as well try
i won't tell about the beginning of us
so you go oh ooo-ohh-oh

would you just grow up/would you just let me do it?
tryina bide my time writing everything but the truth
would you just shut up, or is it too hard for you?
and would you leave me beaten hard 'n heart all bruised
so i walked off, left my head in the sand
with a dollar in my wallet and a rock in my hand
i was so uptight for a while, and i lost it
and you would leave me here, but that was par for the course then
so baby shape up or ship out
and maybe you pinched on the parson's side
cause right now i'm too high to be nice
my bedside's primed for the night of yr life
so i was drinking tall boys, passing out in the bathroom
yeah i'm crashing now but i'm promise i'm coming back soon
getting tired of john denver and george jones
i'm sick of me too--i'm trying to go home
but that was it, how you wanted to shake it up
yr trying to stay hydated, a waste of a paper cup
i've got a problem with cattle branding and blood ties
i've had enough nice
so baby shape up or ship out
(etc)
bobby womack
i want the gold back
traded taste of a wasted evening
switching windows
tryina get close
far away from a lazy weekend
wishin' codeine
was more a slow theme
you were saying to keep it breezy
you complain though
turn on the radio
i'll be listening to "take it easy"
take it easy
shape up or ship out
