Garbage Bin

I was born so clean Like a new washing machine Was flawless from my mother's womb Wrapped up tight inside a sheet Loved my days in kindergarten I was happy in first grade Okay in high school when it began to change Fast forward now to college Where I'm flunking out of class And the student loans are starting to bite me in the ass I don't want to go back home I don't want to see my folks Just gonna hold my breath And maybe with some time I'll learn to float I could keep swimming but I want to give in I'm a garbage bin I'm a garbage bin I could keep swimming but I want to give in I'm a garbage bin Life's a garbage bin Move on up and down Do a dance and turn around If you've got yourself some pockets You can fill them so you drown I need a little bit of money and a little bit more time I keep on losing my friends to suicide And it don't get much better than this I hate to break it, but, the longer that you try The less likely that you will make it I don't want to be alone I don't want to die at home A hippy monk told me there's comfort in being nothing at all I could keep swimming but I want to give in I'm a garbage bin I'm a garbage bin I could keep swimming but I want to give in I'm a garbage bin Life's a garbage bin Hey kid, pull up your socks if you've worn your bootstraps down There's still a lot of opportunity if you look around But I'm running out of luck I'm stuck earning 15 bucks At least the government will feed me if I'm taken by the cops I think I'm getting depressed It's always me against the world I'm well aware I'm egocentric And it's going to hell I don't want to be a fake I just want to catch a break Don't want to sell out but I sure would like a piece of that cake I could keep swimming but I want to give in I'm a garbage bin I'm a garbage bin I could keep swimming but I want to give in I'm a garbage bin I'm a garbage bin
