Burnout - The Real McKenzies
Woke up today and caught
In last night's smoke
I hung my wet and stinky kilt to dry
There's not alot of room
In here my eviction's in the works
I fear but still I hold my finger in the pie
And so I open wide
The door to find the day
That son of a b**ch so bright
She made me blind But slowly
I adjust to see a paradise turn grey full
Of those that left their dreams behind
The corporate girl the company guy
Bent outta shape with strain
300 days a year to earna dime
They get a heart attack a-walkin'
Or a stroke on the phone a-talkin'
Paid in paltry cash a trade for time
I'm just a burnout
I've got no common sense
I've spent my rent on a binge
On Wednesday night
Thursday stayed in bed till 5
Then borrowed cash to stay alive
Then Friday start the weekend feeling right
I know you all have scrutinized
My failing flailing life
A part of me just wishes
I could care But honestly
My own decree is simply
To live happily And die
With all my memories left to share
I'm just a burnout
I've got no common sense
I've spent my rent on a binge
On Wednesday night
Thursday stayed in bed till 5
Then borrowed cash to stay alive
Then Friday start the weekend feeling right
I'm just a burnout
I've got no common sense
I've spent my rent on a binge
On Wednesday night
Thursday stayed in bed till 5
Then borrowed cash to stay alive
Then Friday start the weekend feeling right
I'm just a burnout
But got not one lament
'Cause I only ever wanted to be content
