A song about being an unemployed temp that's violently hungover.
lyrics
Woke to a call on my telephone
Saying 'You don't need to go to work today"
I rolled over and slept it off
Guess I needed rest more than money anyway
So I'll do laundry, take the trash out
Watch T.V. and smoke my brains out
Bought a pint of whiskey, spent my evening playing videogames
yeah
For now I'm just killing time until I go to bed
Well I'm gonna drink til I pass out
Can't take much more I need to get out
Out of this basment
Out from displacement
But for now I'm just killing time until I go to bed
"WHAT'S THE MATTER BOY YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF
And quit acting like all these bad things only happen to you and not to anyone else"
MAYBE IT'D BE BEST IF ME AND WHISKEY GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS
I WISH I WOULD KNOW WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE BEFORE I HAD PAID
But for now I'm just killing time
To break free from this bind
I'm just killing time until I go to bed
In the morning I'll be vomiting my happiness
In the afternoon puking up my inner bliss
Don't wanna think about the stupid little things I did when I was wasted
And if I ever knew it'd be like this when I was a kid
I would've listened to the words of what my mother said
"STAY AWAY FROM WHISKEY BOY. That shit'll kill ya
Now bring momma some wine"
For now I'm just killing time
To break free from this bind
I'm just killing time until I go to bed
