now i know i had something to say but the problem is to say something
uhh...you gotta say it
and i still don't remember a thing since that funny gas
came out of that pipe next to me / i guess they didn't ok it
now i remember--did i tell ya?
cut my thumb off at the knuckle on a broken band saw
didn't see the belt buckle or the blade slip
and i remember when the doctor did it up with a stitch
funny thing...still got a scratch that i can't itch where my thumb was
now i've brought the same piece of chicken in a bag to work everyday
for the last twenty years or so
and i really don't mind, work assembly line
got an intercom blasting the news and the latest on the baseball scores
come around every friday, well i get a paycheck
take the same road home that i come to work on, heck, it's a living
and i got another factory at home
got a barbeque, pink mustang, fenders chrome
and at nine o'clock i sit there in my chair
and i don't know why i lose my hair
and then i go to / and then i go to / and then i go to sleep
well i like to know what i'm doing when i do it
and i do what i'm doing 'cause i don't know what to do when i'm not doing it
sometimes i remember as a boy my father told me i could grow up
to be anything i really wanted to be / anything
and everyday at lunch i still look for my lost digit
still got that funny scratch, so maybe when i find it i can itch it
and i got a little rubber pool in the backyard for the kids to wade in
and i....i...i...i...i...i?
i got another factory back home
got a little backyard, pink mustang, fenders chrome
at nine o'clock i'm in my chair sat down
just lately now when my wife talks back to me i slap her around
and then i go to / and then i go to / and then i go to sleep
