Woke up today and caught in last night's smoke I hung my wet and stinky kilt to dry There's not a lot of room in here my eviction's in the works I fear But still I hold my finger in the pie And so I open wide the door to find the day That son of a bitch so bright she made me blind But slowly I adjust to see a paradise turn grey Full of those that left their dreams behind
The corporate girl, the company guy bent outta shape with strain 300 Days a year to earna dime They get a heart attack a-walkin' or a stroke on the phone a-talkin' Paid in paltry cash a trade for time
I'm just a burnout! I've got no common sense I've spent my rent on a binge on wednesday night Thursday stayed in bed till 5 then borrowed cash to stay alive Then friday start the weekend feeling right
I know you all have scrutinized my failing flailing life A part of me just wishes I could care But honestly my own decree is simply to live happily! And die with all my memories left to share
I'm just a burnout! I've got no common sense I've spent my rent on a binge on wednesday night Thursday stayed in bed till 5 then borrowed cash to stay alive Then friday start the weekend feeling right
I'm just a burnout, but got not one lament Cause I only ever wanted to be content
