day off

I don't want to do anything

that needs to be done

I just want to mess around

boys just want to have fun

I don't care if the bedroom is vacuumed

I don't care if the kitchen's a mess

all I know is that doing the work

is enough to make me depressed

so I am taking the day off

where working, for me, is unknown

I am taking the day off

I am staying home

news on the TV

there is news on the TV

and I must pay attention

the world's full of atrocities

too many to mention

it's beyond my comprehension

there is news on the TV

and I must listen to what they say

it's all there in front of me

maybe I'll take off today

no, I'm gonna watch anyway

          help me out

          be a pal

          I believe I've had enough

          I just need to find a way

          to turn the damn thing off

there is news on the TV

and it's got me in its spell

it just won't let me

I watch the world go to hell

but I can't help myself

the lives of innocent people

the lives of innocent people

taken down from your war machine

will always remember you

wherever they may be

in other countries far from home

or wherever they end up alone

or whether they go on to be

another statistic for the world to see

you will pay for what you've done

your war will be never be won

lie if you have to

take me in your arms

tell me that you love me

lie if you have to

it's all right

tell me that it's real

I know that it must be

lie if you have to

get me through the night

give me a little hope

tell me I'm not stupid

lie if you have to

I need to be okay

it is all my fault

it's nothing that you did

lie if you have to

please don't go away

crossing my fingers

I'm through with crossing my fingers

walking over cracks

I'm moving on

and I'm not looking back

my mind is fighting

it's under attack

it's not common sense

it's courage I lack

I'm tired of maybe and never-mind

it's not what I'm looking to find

bad luck will not

be knocking on my door

not like it used to

a lifetime before

I've had my fill

I don't need any more

I've got me a key

I'm unlocking the door

I'm tired of stories without any end

would it be so hard to call me a friend?

sad sack

nothing to do today

so I guess I'll think about you

and feel sorry for myself

I don't know what else to do

it's just the way I feel

I don't know my way back

I'm just a sad sack

I've had my good times

now they've come to an end

plans for the future

are never my friend

I need some sympathy

for the love that I lack

guess I'm a sad sack

          nowhere to run to

          nowhere to hide

          I've locked myself in

          and I'm staying inside

I don't need answers

I just want attention

and on that note

have I bothered to mention

my inner demons

are primed to attack

guess I'm a sad sack

I'm just a sad sack

to love you again

you don't have to believe me

when I tell you I love you

I just do

it's true

I can't help myself

and you don't have to ignore me

when I'm right in front of you

I'll do

whatever you want me to

I don't need anyone else

    

          come to my front door

          feel free to come on in

          I don't need any excuse

          to love you again
