I used to have this fire in my eyes I used to have this hammer in my fist I used to think that I would write a song that saved the world Now I think I couldn't give a sh** All my plans and papers in the wind All my furniture is fresh and new from Sweden All the things I've done, and all the things I'll be You're a son and you're a father, is there nothing in between? I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'm afraid I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'm afraid Of my boring life, my boring life (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) I went on holidays, we got to Burma shave In the mountains in the jungle we were crazy We were drunk, we were young, we were lawyers on the run I saw this begging man, his legs were little stumps He tried to grab my ankle as I pa**ed I admit that I was frightened, but I laughed I threw a coin and he grabbed it from the air Then he turned his rotting face to me and said "I would k**, I would k**, I would k** you where you stand I would k** you, I would k** you where you stand For your boring life, your boring life" (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) I bought my girlfriend a necklace for her birthday She calls me her lawnmower babe In the mornings we run around the lake In the evenings I try to stay awake My bedroom lamp has a soft warm glow With the TV, it dances on the wall Keeps me up a little longer, I like to smell the air After midnight, when it feels like the highway isn't there And I think, and I think, I think to myself To myself I think that I should learn to love My boring life, so clear and bright (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) My boring life, my sacrifice (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...)
