You said stay
Got so confused
I tried to do both
So I broke out in a sweat
Cashed my check
And I spent it to death
'Cause it's hard to compete
It's hard to eat
When you're beating your fist on the ground
And it's rude
Did you ever even think about the impression
You gave to the pigs
To the kids
With the hazardous waste in their wine
And their eyes
Their gasoline hairstyles
Workin' their magic for you
You said go
You said stay
You said try a combination
Didn't know where to start
I was lost
I was beige
I was over and under my age
Like a video
Like a chick
Like a dead man moving to quick
In my way
Had no plan
Dealin' out papers into the wastecan
Tryin' hard to stay awake
And the rest of the best was a big mistake
So let's drive
Right into the ground
Hold it down with the garbageman-clown
'Cause it's a deal
It's a noose
It's news
It's pennies
You said go You said stay Got so confused I tried to do both So I broke out in a sweat Cashed my check And I spent it to death 'Cause it's hard to compete It's hard to eat When you're beating your fist on the ground And it's rude Did you ever even think about the impression You gave to the pigs To the kids With the hazardous waste in their wine And their eyes Their gasoline hairstyles Workin' their magic for you You said go You said stay You said try a combination Didn't know where to start I was lost I was beige I was over and under my age Like a video Like a chick Like a dead man moving to quick In my way Had no plan Dealin' out papers into the wastecan Tryin' hard to stay awake And the rest of the best was a big mistake So let's drive Right into the ground Hold it down with the garbageman-clown 'Cause it's a deal It's a noose It's news It's pennies Explain Request ×
