We were working part time all the time
We were banking on the kindness of strangers and loved ones
And those that fall between
To give us everything we need
Cos we need everything

It was a sing-a-long, it was inside of us
Oh, oh, oh, it was a mattress in the bed where we slept
Straight into death
How we slept

Well you like things that shine
And there were rivers and evergreens

And I, I was fine
I was broke but still alive
I was fine
We got drunk and called in sick when we felt like it

We were working part time all the time
Then things got steady, we grew cautious
We were trying just to gain some experience
For whatever was coming next
For whatever was coming next

Then every motive came into question
You kids have seen this all before
You were watching TV and you were having some conversation
About about about about
All those things that you might take
If there weren't any more laws to break

Well you like things that shine but cannot breathe
And I, I was fine
I was broke but still alive
I was fine
We got drunk and called in sick when we felt like it

We got drunk and called in sick
Oh we got drunk and called in sick
