Just an out of tune song for an out of tune day   I got home from work and I'm not good for anything   I guess I'll have a beer and play it anyway   Just an ordinary guy with a tangled up life   And dreams and emotions that take me by surprise   I don't know why my life hits me right between the eyes   (chorus)   Needless to say, it's been another pointless day   But I thought I'd call you up and let you know   There's nothing on my mind but an out of tune song...      I'm an amoeba's grandson in a pair of blue jeans   If the world is a stage I must have got lost between scenes   I read the script but I've forgotten what it means   So I sit on my porch with a beat-up guitar   And I watch the girls as they wander past my yard   If they could see me barbeque I know I'd be a star      Chorus      Please don't get me wrong   I'm in no mood to complain   I can still feel the sun on my face   Standing in the rain      Just an out of tune song that I should forget   From one of those days when it's safer just to quit   Madmen and fools love to dig a bigger pit   So I sit on my porch and I howl at the moon   I've got this aching feeling that it's ending much too soon   If I could just get this song in tune      Chorus
