Indigo Girls - Cold Beer And Remote Control lyrics

All of my days have been misspent 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 And 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 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 So I try not 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 Sit down the room is dark the blurry graffiti on the benches across at the public park The plastic's black and bu*toned the haze is blue And all I want is nothing to do 'Cause it's a long walk to the bus stop It's a long wait for the turning clock A two-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 Only two things bound to soothe my soul cold beer and remote control 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
