Words and music by jon langford |
|
Well i worked hard and i got lots of money |
|
Well i tried hard but i don't wanna stay |
|
Yeah i've seen too much trouble, i felt too much pressure bubble |
|
I knew there had to be a better way |
|
I wouldn't hide if you thought i was worth it |
|
You'd smack me down when i misbehave |
|
But everybody knows that i've got flunkies here in tow |
|
To clean up all the messes that i've made |
|
Chorus: |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
|
And it's hard to tell if life is a burden or a gift |
|
Yeah i'm going over the cliff |
|
Forgive me or forget me everybody |
|
Well i guess i always had this honest streak |
|
Yeah i'm sick of all the yawning, the bitching, and the bawling |
|
I'm sick of feeling powerless and weak |
|
Please don't call me cool just call me "asshole" |
|
'cause i will be a beggar not a king |
|
And the devil don't care if you're a fish or your're a stick (chip) |
|
Yeah i'm going over the cliff |
|
Chorus |
|
Well in new york and l.a. they're sending faxes |
|
So the company can wash its hands of this |
|
Yeah there was no one there to look after me or care |
|
Well i'm going over the cliff |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
|
Yeah success on someone else's terms don't mean a fucking thing |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
|
That's right, success on someone else's terms don't mean a fucking thing |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
|
I'm going over the cliff |
