Hello, kiddies. Easy peasy lemon-squeezey song by TBR. Really simple. 
guaranteed! If not, I'll personally go to your house and show you how to
play it. (and also, if you are a woman, I'll give ya a lap dance)

I didn't feel like going to work today
I called in sick but I feel OK
I'm getting used to the same old thing
Ever since my TV brainwashed me
Tuned me into a stupid jerk
Go to work

I didn't feel like waking up today
I force myself to get up and go
I know my girlfriend's messing around
And I really don't care who she's going down on
As long as I don't have to call her up

Tried to listen to the radio
But I just can't seem to understand it
Man I figured out that one long ago
I'm getting used to the same old thing
But it doesn't mean that I have to stand it
Is there anywhere else that I can go?
Where I want to go

play interlude

Figure it out because I know you really don't care  (played only 
Figure it out while I sit here with a blank stare    first time)
