Words and Music: Emily Saliers All of my days have been misspent Stuffing out the sofa and the antenna's bent Inside my heart's bursting out at the seams I work for the impossible American dream I got a job at the grocery store Few bucks an hour not much more The world comes in just to take things away Eat it all up then they sleep until day (chorus): I try not to care I might lose my mind Running round the same thing time after time Only two things bound to soothe my soul Cold beer and remote control Once upon a time I was nobody's fool Two jobs and showing up for school I guess it comes apart so little by little You don't know you're there until you're stuck in the middle (chorus) Sit down The room is dark The blurry grafitti on the benches Across at the public park The plastic splatter (the plastic splatter) The haze is blue (the haze is blue) All I want (want) Is nothing to do (to do) Cause it's a long walk to the bus stop It's a long wait for the turning clock A too tired car sitting up on the blocks And things I put aside like that pile of rocks (chorus) Emily: Chorus Amy: Repeat first verse Cold beer and remote control (I guess it comes apart so little by little)
