Lyrics

Sit around and watch the tube, nothing's on
Change the channel for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit		(Verse 1)
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fuckin lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise			(Chorus 1)
I'm so damn bored I'm goin blind
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this Velcro seat and get me movin
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feelin like a dog in heat			(Verse 2)
Barred indoors from a summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key

(Chorus 1)

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation				(Bridge)
No time for my motivation
Smokin's my inspiration

Sit around and watch the phone, no one's callin
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job			(Verse 3)
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost it's fun
You're fuckin lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm goin blind
None of this has to suffice			(Chorus 2)
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth
