lyrics

By the time I wake up most real men have
Closed a thousand deals and shook more hands than
A campaign promisee
It's lifeblood for them but I don't think it's for me
Waking up at 5 to go workout or
Wallowing in corporate self-doubt for
A brand new SUV
My car runs fine as long as it's above 73 degrees
Everyone's stupid
I'd join if I could but I'm
Waiting for the sky to fall
By doing nothing
I'm doing some good
Just waiting for the sky to fall
By the time I wake up most real men have
Dropped their kids at school to fail again and
Told their son "keep in line"
But forgot it was his birthday, he's 8, maybe he's 9
Well it's not like dad's to blame, work's been a burden
Secretaries desk has left him hurtin'
His wife loves him blind
He didn't wanna kiss her but damn, she was so fine
So damn fine
Everyone's stupid
I'd join if I could but I'm
Waiting for the sky to fall
By doing nothing
I'm doing some good
Just waiting for the sky to fall
