All of my days have been misspent   Stuffing out the sofa and the antenna's bent   Inside my heart's bustin' out at the seams   I work for the impossible American dream      I got a job at the grocery store   A few bucks an hour and not much more   The world comes in just to take things away   They eat it all up and then they sleep into day      I try not to care I would lose my mind   Running 'round the same thing time after time   Only two things bound to soothe my soul   Cold beer and remote control      Now once upon a time I was nobody's fool   Two jobs and showing up for school   I guess it comes apart so little by little   You don't know you're there till you're stuck in the middle      I try not to care, I would lose my mind   Running 'round the same thing time after time   And only two things bound to soothe my soul   Cold beer and remote control      Sit down, sit down, sit down   The room is dark   The blurry graffiti on the benches   Across at the public park   The plastic's black and buttoned   The haze is blue   And all I want is nothin' to do      'Cause it's a long walk to the bus stop   It's a long wait for the turning clock   It's a too tired car sitting up on the blocks   And things I put aside like that pile of rocks      I try not to care, I would lose my mind   Running 'round the same thing time after time   And only two things that will soothe my soul   Is cold beer and remote control      Yes, I try not to care I would lose my mind   Running 'round the same thing time after time   And only two things that soothe my soul   Cold beer and remote control, yea   Yea, cold beer and remote control   Yea, beer and remote control   Yea
