Don’t take the cooler out of the car.
I know we can’t go anywhere, I’m fine where we are.
I’ll stay in the driveway get loaded and listen to GBV.
Cry about old girlfriends, the wonder years, and eternity.
I know the world’s on fire, I’ve got responsibility.
Give me a few more hours of feeling poetic, and I’ll forget it.
Don’t take the cooler out of the bed.
I rather like it here, it’s where I’m going to live.
We’ll have a revolution, a wasted John and Yoko.
Fighting for an all day buzz, world peace, suburban mediocrity.
I know the world’s on fire, I’ve got responsibility.
Give me a few more hours of feeling poetic, and I’ll forget it.
