lyrics

I don't wanna get stuck living in a small town; Let the world pass me by
Lay comatose and think about what happened to my life
I wish I could lose these inhibitions, maybe jump on the next plane
Head out West, start fresh some place where no one knows my name

Cause sometimes I get so lonesome I can't think
I just cower in the corner and I shrink
Sometimes I feel like nothing, like I don't mean a thing
Sometimes I wish they'd hurry and bury me

I eat at the same restaurants where the food all tastes like shit
I work the same old job because I can't afford to quit
I get crap from all my neighbors just because I don't go to church
But I don't think Jesus appreciates all of those dirty looks

I'm trapped inside a slice of Americana
A world controlled by plutocrats and thieves
It's nothing like the movies, no it's nothing like it seems
You know, maybe they've already buried me

Nothing ever changes; It's the same old scenery
There's no up's and down's or turn-arounds
and I think that's what I need
Cause I've got no inspiration - My muse is dead and gone
And without a change of pace I just can't sing the same old songs

Oh I wish that I had someone to rip my heart out
Fry it up and leave it on a plate
A breakfast for the buzzards - I hope they like the way it tastes
Cause I havn't got much use for it these days
