I wanna new shirt A new pair of jeans I wanna new me And goddammit I'm not gonna sleep Yeah, and I wanna get fucked Really fucked and in fact, I'm so tired of people taking away my right to profanity I need a drink Smoke 15 cigarettes in one sitting Who says substance abuse is a problem anyway? And who the fuck says I have a disease anyway? Isn't life a disease, really? And I'm so goddamn fucking tired of people taking away my right to be profane And where in the name of all that is pissing me off today is my drink? Because I'm NOT gonna sleep I'll swipe that plastic card Until I can't fit one more shopping bag in my trunk And I'll let the smoke curl out of my lips While they cuff me and read me my rights Tomorrow depression will set in And I'll cry BUT FUCKING GOD I don't even know how I got here.... |
