(Bass) Got on the train come She went out to the city Lookin' for a better job He was in trouble He said over the siren "I love you, but I'm just a slob" This is hardage Its something to remember The theatre is for wasting time Working is lousy And college is for quitters Some symmetry is hard to find (enter piano and guitar) I'm tired and battered Worn the sole off my shoes I'm rustled and torn Short of nothing to lose I'm tired and battered Sick of all these people Go out your front door You'll never be so sorry The city life can make you born When I was a child I never stop to question Just what on earth I do this for Looking in the corner A quiet television Remember when you saw me there? Kissing your ass for A 100 thousand questions I miss it, but I just don't care I'm tired and battered Worn the sole off my shoes I'm rustled and torn Short of nothing to lose I'm tired and battered Sick of all these people They never mean what they say They never say they mean They only want you to give in I wish to god that I could meet somebody That I could just spend Somebody that I could just spend (guitar solo) I'm on the new love I'm looking to get better Think maybe you could show me how? If you really love me Quit petting for affection And burn the fucking house down now I'm tired and battered Worn the sole off my shoes I'm rustled and torn short of nothing to lose I'm tired and battered Sick of all these people They never mean what they say They never say they mean They only want you to give in I wish to god that I could meet somebody That I could just spend Somebody that I could just spend I'm tired and battered Worn the sole off my shoes I'm rustled and torn Short of nothing to lose I'm tired and battered Sick of all these people They never mean what they say They never say they mean They only want you to give in I wish to god that I could meet somebody That I could just spend Somebody that I could just spend (Repeat this and end on )
