Lyrics

One friday like everyday, I was walking home at six oclock
I saw this guy standing at the corner of 63rd and lex
He was scratching his balls and picking his nose
He didnt give a shit! I went up to him and asked him
Òwhy dont you care what people think?ó

He said to me, ill tell you lad... it goes like this..
But first buy me a drink!

I knew a bar, it wasnt far, and I was thursty too

Now I can drink a thousand drinks you see
That tells you something about me;
And I guess thats how I got involved in all this insanity

He said to me, it goes like this: you are just afraid
Do what you want, whenever you want, wherever you want, however you want
Walk the earth without fear and finish your beer.

I gulped it up, I said whats next?
Òletõs get some coke and get really recked!

Now, im not that kind of guy. im proabably just like you
But today I was down and feeling blue and it felt like the right thing to do

He knew a guy, I had the money. I sniffed it up, my nose was runny
He gave me a tissue, we went outside... I felt so good, I wanted to cry

Lets go get some girls. he knew some girls, I had the money..
By this time it was already sunday

We picked them up and know were back at my place
I couldnt even recognize that it was my place

I got my girl and gave it a go and when I was done it was easy to let go
I felt nothing, but I felt fine. im alive and im passing the time

Who needs to care? who needs to work? im just a fucking fucked up jerk

I knew I was never going back! lying here on my back... staring at the walls
Scratching my fucking balls. so this is my story it could happen to you

Just dont talk to strangers. just dont look around corners
Remember to feed your pets. forget your regrets

What it all comes down to is this: its just a bunch of piss. so go and fuck you!
And ill go fuck myself. and ill go help myself. and ill do what I want
Whenever I want, however I want, wherever I want
