Garbage Bin -

I was born so clean

Like a new washing machine

Was flawless from my mother’s womb

Wrapped up tight inside a sheet

Loved my days in kindergarten

I was happy in first grade

Okay in high school when it began to change

Fast forward now to college

Where I’m flunking out of class

And the student loans are starting to bite me in the ass

I don’t want to go back home

I don’t want to see my folks

Just gonna hold my breath

And maybe with some time I’ll learn to float

I could keep swimming but I want to give in

I’m a garbage bin

I’m a garbage bin

I could keep swimming but I want to give in

I’m a garbage bin

Life’s a garbage bin

Move on up and down

Do a dance and turn around

If you’ve got yourself some pockets

You can fill them so you drown

I need a little bit of money and a little bit more time

I keep on losing my friends to suicide

And it don’t get much better than this

I hate to break it, but, the longer that you try

The less likely that you will make it

I don’t want to be alone

I don’t want to die at home

A hippy monk told me there’s comfort in being nothing at all

I could keep swimming but I want to give in

I’m a garbage bin

I’m a garbage bin

I could keep swimming but I want to give in

I’m a garbage bin

Life’s a garbage bin

Hey kid, pull up your socks if you’ve worn your bootstraps down

There’s still a lot of opportunity if you look around

But I’m running out of luck

I’m stuck earning 15 bucks

At least the government will feed me if I’m taken by the cops

I think I’m getting depressed

It’s always me against the world

I’m well aware I’m egocentric

And it’s going to hell

I don’t want to be a fake

I just want to catch a break

Don’t want to sell out but I sure would like a piece of that cake

I could keep swimming but I want to give in

I’m a garbage bin

I’m a garbage bin

I keep swimming but I want to give in

I’m a garbage bin

I’m a garbage bin
