oh I know why you want to stay home
so I'm driving all alone
oh did you see the paper today?
yeah I saw it but what did it say?
all the words are hurting my head
and the ink on my hands has bled
and my eyelids are fighting my brain
and my muscles are doing the same
I guess my body is killing itself
I'm sick of worrying about my health
and I don't want to go to school
'cause I know what they'll tell me there
and the air coming in's too cool
yeah I'm freezing and I need heat
and I can't even trust myself
got some real bad habits
and I'm concerned with this and that
but does it really matter?
I went downtown to 6th and Virginia and just looked around
I slipped on my shoes and drove my sedan to the edge of the river
I stood in line, I shook every hand, I waited my turn, and now I'm fine
and now a car full of broken rubber bands is all I have
to show for a month and a half of overpriced gas
