about
A nostalgically foot tapping dance number. A song that brought many old friends and new friends together to make music. A noisy juxtaposition of frustration and acceptance. Let it out. Do that dance again where you shake your butt.
Pull up your dance pants and brush off your High School T-Shirt.
Pull up your dance pants and brush off your High School T-Shirt.
lyrics
(Verse 1)
Don't got a lot of cash money,
But I don't pay rent
Trickling out the spout,
Down the drain it went
Don't want to be fast awake,
I wanna be fast asleep all day
Don't want a fancy car
I like my shoes because they're cheap
(Chorus)
Everybody's punching in, they're punching out
What's the deal with living free, they're missing out
I stay trapped away, in a never ending haze
That's why I never thought I'd be, talking to you now...
(Verse 2)
A lot of shit to do,
I'm mentally constipated
Just sitting here with drool,
On this shirt I've had since High School
Don't wanna get there fast,
Don't even wanna get there at all
And if I'm happy sometimes,
I'll write it on the wall!
(Chorus)
Everybody's punching in, they're punching out
What's the deal with living free, they're missing out
And if I set me free, I'd be a catastrophe
In this state of nervosity, I might simply slip away from you...
Don't got a lot of cash money,
But I don't pay rent
Trickling out the spout,
Down the drain it went
Don't want to be fast awake,
I wanna be fast asleep all day
Don't want a fancy car
I like my shoes because they're cheap
(Chorus)
Everybody's punching in, they're punching out
What's the deal with living free, they're missing out
I stay trapped away, in a never ending haze
That's why I never thought I'd be, talking to you now...
(Verse 2)
A lot of shit to do,
I'm mentally constipated
Just sitting here with drool,
On this shirt I've had since High School
Don't wanna get there fast,
Don't even wanna get there at all
And if I'm happy sometimes,
I'll write it on the wall!
(Chorus)
Everybody's punching in, they're punching out
What's the deal with living free, they're missing out
And if I set me free, I'd be a catastrophe
In this state of nervosity, I might simply slip away from you...
