Make my bed, quick, wash my head

Make sure that all the pets are fed

Brush my teeth till my gums bleed

And hope my pee misses the seat

The clothes are washed, fresh pair of socks

“Hey wait a second, what’s that spot?”

Smell test a jacket from the basket

Smear deodorant on to mask it

I drag my ass across the grass

Convince myself “this too shall pass”

Weave through traffic, radio static

Shove down some food, try not to gag it

Pull in the lot and pray for spots

Ash the joint, “Shit that’s my boss!”

The nine to five where time flies by

One day this will be worth my while

Just surf my browser, same thing for hours

WiFi’s down reset the router

Before I know it the moon is glowing

A day gone with nothing to show it

As I drive home, I sit alone

And ask myself where I went wrong

But I keep trying, or maybe lying

To tell myself life’s gratifying

So I’ll be true and see this through

Perhaps my life can start anew

The lights pass by twinkling my eyes

Reminding me of brighter times

Soon they grow near and it comes clear

That my future will not appear

The news passed by without a sigh

As I was just another guy

Until this guy found my mom’s eyes

And all she could do was cry
