lyrics

Monday morning brush my teeth
Try to remember
what I liked about the weekend
What about the week ahead can't I ignore
Try to make me feel like a winner again

Tuesday evening five o'clock
Finally get dressed give off the appearance
I did anything of substance at all
Try to offer suspense
Give me a chance to explain myself

I know I'm the problem
With an otherwise flawless film
It was not for me

This could change the world
If anyone at all
Who knows what I mean

Wednesday evening trash goes out
Cause Friday morning I'll forget it again
Check the news to feed my doubts
I think it's sexy when she questions the facts
It cuts me loose

Saturday evening movie night
The French Dispatch could have been better
Had I not been too high to gather plot
And order the characters

I know I'm the problem
With an otherwise flawless film
It was not for me

This could change the world
If anyone at all
Who knows what I mean

La de da de da

I'm trapped in suburbia
I'm living the dream
They should be marching against me
Pitchforks and all

So if you're gonna bury me in the front yard
Would you
Cover me with a side walk
Lets improve the neighborhood
You can call me lazy
you can call me no good liberal
I just want a bike lane
Tired of driving when I wanna see my friends
Aren't you
When the revolution starts
Can we abolish the cars

This could change the world
Is there anyone at all
who knows what I mean
Is there anyone at all
Who knows what I mean
