The Drip

I've been stuck at the same shit job At this record store In this run down house In a town that's even more run down For the past 8 years I've had nowhere to go I skate in circles straight from home To work To home To work To home Although my ceiling leaks And I guarantee a fight out in the street At least once a week It's not that bad But I sometimes wish that I could be A pigeon in the pent-house suite Hang up this shirt and tie For one last time Because this 9 to 5 life Isn't right for me And I don't think they'd promote the guy Who only works his 9 to 5 To pay for all the different kinds Of drugs we know he likes to buy But he has bigger things going on That you can only see If you're from where he's from Set off soon It won't take you long To get where he is going And when you get there Be sure you don't forget where You came from You may be branching out But it's your roots that keep you strong We don't wanna waste A single chance we get We won't hesitate Won't leave behind our friends Just don't forget That in the end We will come back for you We will come back for you Although my ceiling leaks And I guarantee a fight out in the street At least once a week It's not that bad But I sometimes wish that i could be A pigeon in the pent-house suite Hang up this shirt and tie For one last time Because this 9 to 5 life Isn't right for me We face a wall of water We walk around like they said to If backed in to a corner We'll jump the fence you're not meant to The distance getting shorter As the pain in my back grew Who knew that getting older Is what really defines you You know it's easier than you think But it's better to keep your clothes dry We can still make it if we're quick The thick of it is far behind Although my ceiling leaks And I guarantee a fight out in the street At least once a week It's not that bad But I sometimes wish that I could be A pigeon in the pent-house suite Hang up this shirt and tie For one last time Because this 9 to 5 life Isn't right for me
