The alarm is going off again
And I can't find the strength within
To get myself to get up out of bed
And I can't find my keys
And I'm sick of feeling like this
Every single morning
Five more minutes in bed
With the covers over my head
Trying to get fired so I won't have to quit
Don't wanna spend my nights working the graveyard shift
And I'm so sick and tired yeah I'm over it
I'm calling this early retirement yeah
"Come on man, quit your singing and get back to work"
"Uh, quit your singing and get back to work, get bent!"
It's not that I'm afraid of work
I think that I'm above it
It's just like Johnny Paycheck said:
"Take this job and shove it!"
I'd rather be anywhere but here
Trying to get fired so I won't have to quit
Don't wanna spend my nights working the graveyard shift
And I'm so sick and tired yeah I'm over it
I'm calling this early retirement yeah
I'd rather be anywhere else
I'd rather be anywhere but here
"I'm sick of all you punk kids, sitting around, doing nothing
Singing little songs to yourselves
What's the matter with you?
Get your crap and get out of here, you're fired!"
"Okay, well, first of all you can't fire me because I quit!"
"Fired? Consider me roasted"
Trying to get fired so I won't have to quit
Don't wanna spend my nights working the graveyard shift
And I'm so sick and tired yeah I'm over it
I'm calling this early retirement yeah

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr
