Suburban Homesick Blues

You should get a car! You should get a house!
Fertilize the yard! Take the garbage out!
You should eat some meat! Gain a little weight!
You should brush your teeth twenty times a day!
Feed the dogs and cats before and after class!
Hit the laundromat! Party after that!
Think I’ll make some art! Drive my car around!
Dinner with some friends! Go out on the town!
Hear a little hard! Can you hear me now?!
Now I’m going north! Hardly going south!
Got some shit to do! Coming back to town!
When I go to work, all I see is frowns!
Hardly ever late, unless I wanna be!
Try to stay in shape! Take care of my teeth!
Think I’ll quit my job! Grow a second brain!
Cut some Hummers off on the interstate!
Plug in my guitar! This is how it sounds!
Listen to my heart! Type or write it down!
Jamming with my band! Working on some tunes!
Callous up my hands — all of this for you!
Wearing out my clothes! Feet are getting strong!
Think I’ll learn to sew! Take more time to draw!
Make a couple calls! Book a couple shows!
Like the ones I saw, many me’s ago!
Getting sick of this! Time to do some of that!
Hang out with some friends! Chew a little fat!
People lookin’sad! I don’t understand!
You should be so glad! Thumbs are on your hands!
Divvy up your land! Write yourself a note!
Start yourself a band! Or Do it all alone!
Everywhere to go! Walking to be free!
Rolling periscope! Everywhere to be!
Everything to see! Think I need a break!
Also have to eat! Also have to bathe!
Also have to die! Hopefully not today!
