lyrics
Little Ricky working 9 to 5
Trying to save for school, doubting that he'll make it out alive
Life's been rough, but he knows better than to wonder why
He bites his tongue to not sound dumb
Now sits wishing that he gave it the old college try
He laughed off the stranger's advice, but what if she was right?
Little Ricky painting his nails pink
Not a big deal, but his father always makes a stink
But never in the confines of a mattress-lined basement
He picks his cup up off the floor
And pours himself another gratuitous drink
He laughed off the stranger's advice, but what if she was right?
All he wanted was a little more than the liquor store could give
Little Ricky working for the NSA
Traded his soul for a buzzcut and a little pay
Seeing what everyone writes, but not hearing a single word they say
Clock in, clock out, daydream about the one that got away
Clock in, clock out, daydream about the one that got away
He laughed off the stranger's advice, but what if she was right?
All he wanted was a little piece of who he used to be
To circle back and sneak into the driver's seat
And throw it all away
Throw it all away...
Throw it all away
Trying to save for school, doubting that he'll make it out alive
Life's been rough, but he knows better than to wonder why
He bites his tongue to not sound dumb
Now sits wishing that he gave it the old college try
He laughed off the stranger's advice, but what if she was right?
Little Ricky painting his nails pink
Not a big deal, but his father always makes a stink
But never in the confines of a mattress-lined basement
He picks his cup up off the floor
And pours himself another gratuitous drink
He laughed off the stranger's advice, but what if she was right?
All he wanted was a little more than the liquor store could give
Little Ricky working for the NSA
Traded his soul for a buzzcut and a little pay
Seeing what everyone writes, but not hearing a single word they say
Clock in, clock out, daydream about the one that got away
Clock in, clock out, daydream about the one that got away
He laughed off the stranger's advice, but what if she was right?
All he wanted was a little piece of who he used to be
To circle back and sneak into the driver's seat
And throw it all away
Throw it all away...
Throw it all away
