lyrics

Tangled up in the day job safety net
Able and likely to be driven just before bed
To change or rearrange it
Rob a bank or make a movie
Let’s plan a great escape
Let’s splice some DNA
The rest of my life starts tomorrow

I’ve been so good
Workin’ with what I have
Now I’ve earned myself a little bit of bad

I may be ugly, but I’m S M R T
Broke, but what I want is all free
Fighting for a piece of sanity
Damn it hurts, but man, its worth it
I made a shaky truce
With a part of me I never wanted to
Good mornings come from boring nights

I’ve been so good
Workin’ with what I have
Now I’ve earned myself a little bit of bad

You’ll need some pain if you want joy
Create, destroy, create, destroy
Tell me who you care for, bleed for
Tell me who you gonna live and die for
One beer I’m bold, one bowl I’m brilliant
One more snort and I could be president

I’ve been so good
Workin’ with what I have
Now I’ve earned myself a little bit of bad

Let’s shake on it
So far, so good
Cause I’ve been known to get to scheming
Dreaming up a lust for leaving
Lovely like the falling snow
Fast forgetting about the cold
Wallet, keys, phone, and I’m good to go
