Verse 1:
Spend the day in your bed taking medicine
If that's the only thing that keeps you calm
Well one of these days you've gotta get up
And get out
There is a purpose for all of my sitting here
If you can't understand well you could
If you could just stretch your attention span
Now, for this song
Refrain:
/
I hope that this is what you will want
/
Cause my throat will be the first thing to go
/
And I hope that some day I'll hear everyone say
Chorus 1:
Is that all you've got turn it up keep it coming
Cause I've got the words to keep the birds humming
Well there's gotta be something
/
There's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
/
There's gotta be something wrong
Interlude: - (x3) --
Verse 2:
Spend your life with a pen and a microphone
You wrote down everything that you could
In case somebody gives them a second glance
Now for this long
