[Verse 1]
This one day
My mind is strained
And can I can I can I have fun
No matter what I do
Or how much I just sit here

[Verse 2]
Sitting with my toys

[Chorus 1]
I don't know why
I just want to die
And here's two bucks for you
This is the part where I should really part
But I guess I've got nothing to do
[Chorus 2]
Black tar, brown mud, latex paint
All in my lungs today
I guess I should listen to what the docs say
My breath is how the streets get paved everyday

So soft as it slides right through my nose
That's not enough
It's not enough 'til I cough up a lung
[Chorus 2]
Black tar, brown mud, latex paint
All in my lungs today
I guess I should listen to what the docs say
My breath is how the streets get paved everyday
[Outro]
I guess I should listen to what the docs say
My breath is how the streets get paved every day
