Alone Time

Oh, I know
I know, well, I know
I know, yeah, I know

I know how it feels to lose a pocket full of dough
On a truck part you never thought you'd need
But I don't know how it feels to have a mouth to feed
While going to work and wanting time alone

'Cause when I get home, I get high as I can
Pray to God I don't wake up for work again
There's nothing quite like being alone
After a long day when you get home

A long day don't feel right without some time alone
After work went and sucked the soul right out of me
Trouble is we all gotta spend some time together
You can't get time off by going alone
Problem is we need to get together organized
If we want free time to have alone

I'm doing all right now, but should I ​have a child?
Day care and Pampers would wipe me out
Oh, I got enough for now, but should I cradle the babe?
How could I afford some time alone?

Without placing all that burden on my partner
Without working so many hours I lose all hope
Without losing so much sleep that I start seeing things
Without turning to a fiend for booze and dope

There's nothing quite like being alone
After a long day when you get home
Trouble is we need to spend some time together
If we want some free time to have alone
Problem is we need to get together and fight
If we want to fight back for time alone

Well, I know how it feels to lose a pocket full of dough
On an operation you never thought you'd need
But I don't know how it feels to have a mouth to feed
While going to work and needing one goddamn minute to myself

'Cause when I get home, I get high as I can
I pray to God I don't wake up for work again
When I get home, I get high as I can
I pray to God I don't wake up for work again
'Cause when I get home, I get high as I can
I pray to God I don't wake up for work again
