Box Office Poison - Waste Of Space And Days lyrics

Every week I sleep at a different friend's house

those books I bought in school don't do me no good now

when I call my mom she just hangs up the phone

penniless and loveless, I need a job and a home

And Veronica don't answer my pages

since she got tired of me and my blue-collar wages

that business life just ain't for me

in a suit and a tie I'll never be free

I look really pale and I feel like a slob

but no matter how much I lose, my hope won't be robbed

everyday I make amends for my sinner's soul

maybe I'll get back home if I ever get whole

I don't ever buy a thing without knowin what it costs

I ride the D train, and just get off more lost

I answer ads for jobs that ain't for me

they say they'll call me back but just let me be

I eat here and there and sleep an hour a day

the pillow makes me think of the prices that I pay

I left school, it just left me wantin more

I never learned which doorknob was for my door

And I don't blame my mom and Veronica's right

I'm just a waste of space and days

and I just pray that before I'm through

I'll figure out what I want to do
