lyrics

Fighting for survival is such a boring battle
Gonna pack up all my things I'm gonna drive out to Seattle
Where the used record stores have much better prices
But I don't have a car and I don't have a license
Should I take another trip to the DMV
Get another learner's permit with a picture of me
I'll put it in my wallet along with my four dollars
And the condom that's still in there that is probably expired
I'd leave home for New York but New York is where I'm from
I'm just looking for a way to feel my life has begun

Living in the city and I'm working like a walrus
Man but I don't need your money man I'm gonna be an artist
And I'm feeling like I'm gonna do whatever I feel like inside
Put it out on paper and I hope that people buy it
And my only minor worry is how to pay the rent
But that won't even matter when I lose apartment
Then I'll really have no worries, I'll be just like a cassette
That you tape all the tabs up to put something new on it
And when I press record god only knows what I will be
And if there is no god then it's a better mystery

Fighting for survival and I guess I must be winning
And my story is so long I can't remember the beginning
Am I an optimist or am I a pessimist
If I see the half full / half empty glass as half full
Of nothingness
