Tim Barry - Idle Idylist lyrics

Every time I stop and think I'm hit with everything That I was taught about right and wrong And what to get used to They're cheating in the seats of SUVs In the shade of the trees Down my street, behind the backs of husbands, wives and bosses And I'm sitting here with my dog, six beers and my guitar On this porch of wood making them my business They say the economy is in a slump And folks like them, they're giving up They jump from planes, in front of trains, and some from bridges That's alright, that ain't my life I cough all morning and I smoke all night That's alright, that ain't my life I pay $200 rent and I work when I like Woah woah, where did we go wrong? Woah woah, have I been sitting out too long? No cash in my hands means I'm nothing to you But I won't sell myself I've got this friend close to me She called from NYC Said she's got stock options, salary and full benefits She works the 22nd floor In a cubicle built for her She answers phones and talks a bunch about investments Well she's finally in love She met some guy from Texas She says he's the one but she has yet to meet him They talk now everyday, online to communicate I said f** that job, f** that new beau, yeah f** that pension Cause that ain't right, that ain't no life You work a 60 hour week to see one hour of sunlight That ain't right, no that ain't no life That guy, when you finally meet in the end, you won't even like Woah woah, where did we go wrong? Woah woah, have I been sitting out too long? No cash in my hands means I'm nothing to you., But I won't sell myself Every time I stop and think I'm hit with everything That I was taught about right and wrong And what to get used to I let the greedy deal with greed I ain't got nothing but myself And I ain't selling that for no one else I won't surround my emptiness with greed Or sh** I don't even need In don't ask don't tell relationships based on infidelity I know it ain't right, it ain't much of a life But I let tomorrow be tomorrow And let tonight be tonight
