Stuffing out the sofa and the antenna's bent
Inside my heart's bustin' out at the seams
I work for the impossible American dream

I got a job at the grocery store
A few bucks an hour and not much more
The world comes in just to take things away
They eat it all up and then they sleep into day

I try not to care I would lose my mind
Running 'round the same thing time after time
Only two things bound to soothe my soul
Cold beer and remote control

Now once upon a time I was nobody's fool
Two jobs and showing up for school
I guess it comes apart so little by little
You don't know you're there till you're stuck in the middle

I try not to care, I would lose my mind
Running 'round the same thing time after time
And only two things bound to soothe my soul
Cold beer and remote control

Sit down, sit down, sit down
The room is dark
The blurry graffiti on the benches
Across at the public park
The plastic's black and buttoned
The haze is blue
And all I want is nothin' to do

'Cause it's a long walk to the bus stop
It's a long wait for the turning clock
It's a too tired car sitting up on the blocks
And things I put aside like that pile of rocks

I try not to care, I would lose my mind
Running 'round the same thing time after time
And only two things that will soothe my soul
Is cold beer and remote control

Yes, I try not to care I would lose my mind
Running 'round the same thing time after time
And only two things that soothe my soul
Cold beer and remote control, yea
Yea, cold beer and remote control
Yea, beer and remote control
Yea
