Oh I think I'm going to work construction Just to make something of myself I cant live off these childhood trophies On my shelf
And I wanna get my hands dirty Wanna feel a burning in my legs I want more than a receipt for what I paid
Cause everybody loves something new Cause you can open it and plug it in And it feels like a good night's sleep Like the girl you like paid you a compliment
Oh but they can keep the change And they can keep 'em coming They can talk to who's listening Cause I'm still looking for something a little more permanent
I am not a poet Show me the easy way and I'll do it No one could ever say that I've been trying way too hard Cause everything that I have ever owned Got dusty and old So I threw it out just to make myself some room
I'm like everybody I love something new Cause you can open it and plug it in And it feels like a good night's sleep Like the girl you like paid you a compliment
Oh but they can keep the change And they can keep 'em coming They can talk to who's listening Cause I'm still looking for something that I can die with
If my luck is running out please don't let it be so with love Its been a long year but I'm not ready to give up Cause even if I lay ten million bricks And they break through the summer haze Someone will come around and bulldoze 'em down someday
Because everybody loves something new You get rid of what came before And it feels like a long hot shower Like getting in your bed when the sheets are warm Oh but they can keep destruction And they can keep em coming And I won't be listening Because I found something a little more permanent Yes I found someone that I can die with
