Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you woke up, life got hard
Some motherfucker stole your car
Your best friend left, not coming back
Beer for breakfast, heart attack now
You got a dollar for the Circle K
And with any luck, you might score O.E.
You turn to leave and you're not coming back
'Til you can learn to live life with a monkey on your back
[Chorus]
You can choose the sheets, you can paint the walls
You can tie me up or kick me in the balls
You can burn all of my favorite books
You can carve your name in all these hooks
I don't know or I don't care
I've gotten high in my despair
When beer and wine won't do the trick
I'll be looking for a better fix
[Verse 2]
You used to have big dreams
Your name in lights and magazines
But look at you now, yeah, you went and you lost it
You traded it all in for six kids and an office
Now I'm not saying there's no going back
But there's a very fine line between this and that
And when you've lost the right to choose, then you've already chosen
This coffin is a cubicle to work your bones in
[Chorus]
