Stevens selling Marijuana Uptown to the primadonnas Medicate the counterculture 9/11 baby boom Paulies waiting to retire Smoking like a forest fire Putting on the panties and the lipstick In his mothers room Nothing to do, nothing to lose And if you work your life away Well send you flowers every day And you make your departure baby And get high, high Hanging with the local talent Drinking like youre Shane McGowan Going through your garbage Try to turn into gold
Down on the dole, selling your soul And if you work your life away Theyll keep your picture in a frame And you make your departure baby When you die, high Bobbie joined the military Jenny went and lost her cherry Hanging at the commissary Wants to see the Mona Lisa If they ever do release her I dont want to talk too soon Theres nothing to lose Swimming in booze, selling your shoes Nothing to lose, nothing to lose, nothing to lose
