Simple Livin' - Gym Class Heroes
I'm like nine minutes away
From finishing my nine hour shift
And wishin I was gone nine hours ago
Cause nine hours wasted
Tossin back of this chicken
I coulda written nine verses
Just in time for the show
Slacker mindstate livin
On time that's borrowed
My motto's I'll stop
Procrastinatin tomorrow
I took the sorrow from the windchimes
Left happiness lonesome
And strung up sarcasm to
Make the melody wholesome
From my lungs to my feet
I'm breathin everything I speak
And now they chargin for oxygen
And the bill's due next week
I'll be a day late and a buck short
Story of my life
I wish my pay rate was much more
Duckin swords in the rat race
I didn't apply for runnin towards
Something that's fake
And thinkin why for
They shuttin doors right in my face
And sittin high horse is a car and a d**e place
Somethin to die for this is my war so
Now I'm schemin on plots to make my pockets swell
Simple livin is a b**ch but damn I do it well
Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail
Some locomotives push through and some of em get derailed
Schemin on plots HEY HEY
Simple livin is a b**ch HEY HEY
Some are fortunate to make it HEY HEY
Some locomotors push through HEY HEY
I lead a crocodile mile lifestyle I run and slide
But when it's time to collide with the bump
I always bail
Cause I'm not ready for that dive
Or that silly nine to five
Solidified career option
A hop skip and a leap
Away from rock star
And not too far away from fillin pop's shoes
The idyllic hard workin type of calloused hands
Complete with wife kids dog
House and picket fence that's nonsense
I'm convinced I'm built for better things
And won't settle for the empty
Smile that cheddar brings
It seems like I'm workin hard simply
Cause it's what they say I have to do
You graduate and then you either get a job
Or you go to school
12 years wasn't enough
That's more than half of my life
Spent tryin to make the world accept me
Plus I've got the papers saying
That I made it through
Now I'm working 2 jobs
3 with music and you don't respect me
F**k it I'll retire now
You'll work until you're 62 and
Now I'm schemin on plots to
Make my pockets swell
Simple livin is a b**ch
But damn I do it well
Some are fortunate to
Make it and some of 'em fail
Some locomotives push through
And some of 'em get derailed
Schemin on plots HEY HEY
Simple livin is a b**ch HEY HEY
Some are fortunate to make it HEY HEY
Some locomotors push through HEY HEY
