This song is about an “insane” homeless man who shot and killed Philip Bury, who was Art Alexakis' friend. Philip Bury was better known as “Buck Naked” and the front man for “Buck Naked and the Barebottom Boys” who released on album on Art’s music label before his murder.
I hate waking up
It means that I have to die again tonight
Thirty-five years old
And I'm still sleeping outside
Yeah, I think I know your face
I don't want to know your name
I won't give in
I'm not like that
I won't give in
You say it's Christmas Eve
That don't mean nothing to me
Just another fucked up day
Just another waste of time
You wonder why I live like this, man
You just won't understand
I won't give in
I'm not like that
I won't give in
Ha, ha, ha, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, yeah
You smart ass college fuck
Act like you think you're tall
I was just like you
More pride than you could know
You think you pity me
Hey, I'll kick your ass if you pity me
I won't give in
I'm not like that
No, I won't give in to you
You college fuck
Act like you think you're tall
I won't give in
I'm not like that
I won't give in
Ha, ha, ha, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, yeah
Just go away
Just go away
You college boy
Act like you think you're tall
I won't give in
I'm not like that
I won't give in
