[Chorus]

Do-do-do-do-do-doo

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-doo


[Verse 1]

These warehouse wages kill the ends introduction

Man, I should've schooled it up when I was younger, should’ve stuck to plan

Always had the dreams of bein' more self-assertive

And my kid's a teenager now he needs the health insurance

So break my body, break break my soul down

Just another zombie walkin' blindly through your ghost town

Pull up to the bar to politic and tap the power

Ain't nobody really all that jolly at your happy hour

But I don't want to go home yet

So I'ma talk to my cigarette and that television set

It doesn't matter what brand or station

Anything that take away from the current situation

No overtime pay, no holiday

Months behind on everything but the lottery

Winter 'round the corner guaranteein' that my car dies

Wifey havin' trouble tryin' to juggle both the part-times

My cup ain't close to filled up

We tryin' to build up so we can have enough

And when I finally get the color won't be nothin' left to paint on

A friend of mine tried to kill himself to the same song


[Chorus]

Do-do-do-do-do-doo

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-doo


[Verse 2]

My better half is mad at makin' magic out of canned goods

My tax bracket status got her questionin' my manhood

My shorty got caught smokin' weed at a concert

And if I smack him everybody treats me like a monster

My neighbors ain't doin' much better

And we makin' competition instead of stickin' together

Can't save no nest egg, in fact this nest is rented

In fact that rent is late, wait

The money ain't here, the raise ain't comin'

Just me and my son and that crazy woman

And those bartenders, this whole fuckin' country

Got everybody swallowin' that lunch meat

Well maybe we can speed up the process

Kill me in my thirties in the name of progress

Put me in the dirt and then change the topic

Sometimes seems like the only way to stop it

Contemplate my departure date

Doesn't take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way

Take a shot at me that's all I'm obligated for

Apparently my only guarantee is a walk away


[Chorus]

Do-do-do-do-do-doo

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-doo

The only guarantee in life

Is a life worth dyin' for

'Cause death don't wait for no one

He's sittin' on your front door

The only guarantee in life

Is a life worth dyin' for

'Cause death don't wait for no one

He's sittin' on your front door

Do-do-do-do-do-doo
