( A#5 G#5 )
I sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on.
I change the channel's for an hour or two.
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit.
I'm sick of all the same old shit.
In the house with unlocked doors and I'm fucking lazy.
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5
Bite my lip and close my eyes
G#5 D#5
Take me away to paradise
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind and I smell like shit
Peel me off this Velcrow 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've locked the doors to my own cell and I've lost the key
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5
Bite my lip and close my eyes
G#5 D#5
Take me away to paradise
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind and I smell like shit
D#5 C#5
I've got no motivation
D#5 C#5
Where is my motivation?
D#5 C#5
No time for motivation
D#5 C#5 A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5 G#5 D#5
Smoking my inspi-ration
( A#5 G#5 )
I sit around and watch the phone
But no ones 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 masturbation's lost its fun you're fucking lonely
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5
Bite my lip and close my eyes
G#5 D#5
Take me away to paradise
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
G#5 D#5
And lonliness has to subside
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5
Bite my lip and close my eyes
G#5 D#5
Slowly slipping away to paradise
A#5 G#5 D#5 A#5 G#5
Some say "Quit, or I'll go blind" but it's just a myth
