lyrics

You wake up at a quarter to five
there’s still a little bit of light outside & you know
everything is broken

you have a coffee or a cup of tea
& you know these things in life aren’t free & you wish
you hadn’t awoken

you don’t have to go to work
& every boss you’ve had is a jerk but you think
you should try it again

spare time is great and all, but
without money you’re against a wall & you feel
like a pig in a pen

it’s OK it’s a quarter to 1
you start to feel like you’re having fun
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 2
your mind is empty & there’s nothing to do
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 3
they’re asking you what you wanna be
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 4
these opportunities look like chores, hey!

you sit back and watch the TV
you change the channels but there’s nothing to see, but you wait
for something good to come on

you don’t like to watch the sports
& everything is boring on a court, but you like
the UFC

these guys are matched by the pound
& it sucks when it goes to the ground, and you want
to see them bleed


you wanna see them trading blows
to see who’s tougher & see how it goes, & you want
the underdog to win

it’s OK it’s a quarter to 5
you start to feel like you’re coming alive
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 6
there’s nothing to do but pick up sticks
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 7
you had a friend & his name is Kevin
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 8
she should be home but it’s getting late, & you know
there’s nothing underneath
& you know you should really brush those teeth

your girlfriend comes home from work
for late hours she’s getting perks, & you thank
the lord for that

without her what would you do?
she’s the only one getting you through, & how else
would you feed the cat?

it’s OK it’s a quarter to 9
it’s after dinner & you’re feeling fine
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 10
you’re wondering if this is the end
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 11
you wonder if you’re gonna get to heaven
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 12
into some things you should never delve
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 1
you start to feel like you’re coming undone
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 2
you’re wondering if what they say is true
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 3
the cracks are showing & you’re starting to see
it’s OK it’s a quarter to 4
BABY’S SO TIRED AND SHE WALKS OUT THE DOOR, HEY!
