lyrics

When I was a kid I couldn't wait
to pick out what color towels I'd have at my first place
All the art on the walls, all the bowls and plates
and coffee cups, 'cause all adults drink that sort of thing

When I turned eighteen, that dream was mine
but I drank too much and I cried a lot and I kind of lost my mind
When I lost my job, my friend from the sandwich shop
would bring us butts of bread and the ends of cheese and the
meat they couldn't chop

Living on white bread and American cheese
Ten year old me would have been so happy

I got another job
then I quit for a better job
then I moved away and got a new job
then I took a different job
moved back for the old job
got fired
got hired at a new job
then I couldn't go to that job so I got a new job
it was a good job
then I got bored and got a different job
that was a gross job
so then I didn't have a job
then I had two jobs
now I've got a new job

I really wish I didn't need to have a job

I've been working hard since I was sixteen
selling chuck-a-pucks and raffles at the hockey rink
Getting paid on commission while all the other teenagers
fist fought and made out under the bleachers

I just wish someone would have told me that none of it mattered
I would have spent more time on my bike, or playing ghost in the graveyard
no one tells you how expensive your hobbies can get
and no matter how you beg the mailman the bills keep coming

I just miss the days when my boss's only job for me
was to go stand in the yard or go play in the street
