Everyone is too messed up to help one another,
I need a fix, I need a friend, I need a lover,
Get me the heck out of here,
I'm coming apart - everybody stand clear.

I won't play pretty boy no more,
Your ways are not mine,
Can you understand why I'm leaving you behind'

My nine to five, what a dive, buy a Beemer - ooh, mine's cleaner,
Buy a house, have some kids, make sure the Valiums have childproof lids.

I'm no pessimist, I just can't stand the world like this,
And it's not that I'm so depressed, I just can't live like the rest.

I can see your point of view,
You have ambition, things you want to do,
Well, me too...but not like you.

Nine to five, what a dive, buy a Beemer - hey dude, mine's cleaner,
Buy a house, have some kids, make sure the Valiums have childproof lids.
