825

I bought an iPod

with my allowance.

This is what $8.25 an hour is gonna buy;

I'm going to drown you out.

It's like a pipe bomb.

When the volume hits the ceiling,

I think you might be singing along.

Then, I got myself a dog

from the end of an alley.

This is what 825 little fleas look like;

I'm going to drown you out.

It's like a tiny thought.

When it grows into an action,

I think you might be playing along.

I've learned a lot, yes a lot, but I don't feel very smart;

I'm going too far, too far, (too far.)

But do I have enough when I count, when I count, (does it count?)

I'm working too hard, too hard.

I made myself a basement;

I'm keeping all your secrets.

It's another 8:25 in the morning,

and I just can't get down with vertical.

I'm feeling like a log.

When the volume hits the ceiling,

I think you might be singing along.

I've learned a lot, yes a lot, but I don't feel very smart;

I'm going too far, too far, (too far.)

But do I have enough when I count, when I count, (does it count?)

I'm working too hard, too hard.

There are sometimes when I, when I

feel the end is nigh, is nigh, is nigh,

everything out of focus, focus.

I turn it up and then I, I drown inside.

I've learned a lot, yes a lot, but I don't feel very smart;

I'm going too far, too far, (too far.)

But do I have enough when I count, when I count, (does it count?)

I'm working too hard, too hard.

I don't feel very smart;

I'm going too far, too far, (too far.)

But do I have enough when I count, when I count, (does it count?)

I'm working too hard, too hard.
