lyrics

Give me action. Give me motion.
Free public supply of suntan lotion.
All that’s mine gets used up
Before it becomes someone else’s good luck.
I’m not finished, yet. Not even close to it.
Don’t make me rush. I don’t find this funny.
Got to find a helpful associate,
Ask which button I can push to get my money.

But I wish I could just be paid in kind
With anything that could erase my mind,
And they’ll drag me away to my private asylum.
Oh, what a relief when that day is come.

Give it to me, what you should know I need
If I’m just made of asphalt and bones.
A sandwich. And a cigarette.
Not one quiet moment alone.
I’m not finished with you, not even close to it.
I’m in a terrible rush. I don’t find this funny.
(Please wait for one of our helpful associates.)
Which button do I push to get my money?

But I wish I could be paid in kind
With anything that could erase my mind,
And they’ll drag me away to my private asylum.
Oh, what a relief when that day is come.

Oh, just pay me in kind
With anything that can erase my mind,
And they’ll drag me away to my private asylum.
Oh, what a relief when that day is come.

What a relief when that day comes.

If you smashed The Who into The Goo Goo Dolls, you might get Wrong Side of Dawn. Or you might get a fistfight between Johnny Rzeznik and Roger Daltrey. Either way you can't lose! ... more
