lyrics

sit around and watch the tube but nothings on
change the channels for an hour or two
twiddle my thumbs just for a bit 
i'm sick of all the same old shit
in a house with unlocked doors and i'm fucking lazy
bite my lip and close my eyes take me away to paradise
i'm so damned bored i'm going blind and i smell like shit
peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving 
i sure as hell can't do it by myself
i'm feeling like a dog in heat 
barred indoors from the summer street 
i locked the door to my own cell and i lost the key
i got no motivation, where is my motivation
no time for motivation, smoking my inspiration
sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling 
call me pathetic call me what you will
my mother says to get a job, but she don't like the one she's got
when masterbation's lost it's fun you're fucking breaking
bite my lip and close my eyes, take me away to paradise
i'm so damned bored i'm goin blind, and lonliness has to suffice
bite my lip and close my eyes slipping away to paradise
some say "quit or i'll go blind" but it's just a myth
