Contributing Member of Society
I think I'm overdue for a proper nervous breakdown
just lock me in a psych ward and
let me work my shit out
I've lost so much time chasing tail and drinking wine
now I've gotta do my taxes and get back on my grind
I never underestimated the potency of love
I've lived so long with out it I consider it a drug
something I might take, if I am in the right headspace
my heart goes skippin stones straight to the moon
till I can't feel my face
But All I wanna be is a contributing member of society
have weekends off, go toss a ball, with my old dog in the community
Think in the box, be on the books,
get old, collect my due security
life's a ongoing sentence
that never has a pause
I better get myself a donkey and
find myself a cause
I live life on a system of reward and punishment
Bitch I'll let you eat today if you can make your rent
And Get some exercise it just might shake you from your funk
And if you write a song I'll reward you for a job well drunk
I never took for granted all the time I've got on hand
But certain days I'm getting by on amazon demand
Worse things I could be doing
Worse men I could be screwing
I should dust off my fiddle and go join a bluegrass band
But All I wanna be is a contributing member of society
have weekends off, go toss a ball, with my old dog in the community
Think in the box, be on the books,
get old, collect my due security
life's a ongoing sentence
that never has a pause
I better get myself a donkey and
find myself a cause
(Coma clinic)
Come with me to the coma clinic
We'll be set free at the coma clinic
We'll die just for a week or two
A healthy kind of rendezvous
Tell the world we got the flu
Wake up feeling all renewed
Nicotine free and skinny
No need for desperate measure
Much cheaper than a vacation
No need to pack check the weather or find a cat sitter cause she can just die for a week or two with me and you
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Force quit force quit force quit fuck this shit it's all stupid
Take a break
Take a break
Take a break
Take a break
From it all
