Carlos went downtown

Carlos went downtown
to buy a quarter-ounce of Portland's best
(no, it's not legalized here yet)
Carlos went downtown
he bought a foot-long sub and beer
and went home to his TV set
to watch his favorite program
the one about the teacher and the kid
he'll tell you "oh, man,
I can't spoil it by saying what they did
you'll have to watch it
from the beginning"

Carlos has some friends
maybe not a whole lot
but the friends that he has,
they are good
Carlos has a job
heaven knows he hates it
but he's right on time
the way he should
but sometimes it's good to just stay home
and get high and drink a lot of beer
sometimes it's good to let
the whole wide world to disappear
get it far away from here

New song, farmboy?

Yeah, man, but I don't know where the fuck to go with this and I don't want to fuckin' force an ending that's not emotionally true just to have an ending. You know?

Maybe I'll give it a little time to breathe in my unconscious. How's that for pretentious sounding?

I think it's a good idea to give it time, farmboy. Come back later and see if you're still interested.

Sounds good. See you later, Carlos.
