Pizza Boxes Lyrics

Quit the fooling
Time to get a job
Pay your taxes
Work till five o’clock
Don’t be st*pid
Look how happy you’ll be

All the time they tell me I should change
Build a fort of pizza boxes, sleep when everybody’s up
Stuff my pillow with my bills, no heating ’cause they turned it off
And my table’s just a pile of random and confusing stuff
And my love married my best friend ’cause she simply had enough

Quit the fooling
Time to get a job
Pay your taxes
Work till five o’clock
Don’t be st*pid
Look how happy you’ll be

All the time they tell me I should change it
And that I’ll never make it
They’re calling me naive
But as long as I can play it
I know I’ll never change it
It’s who I want to be

My back is pretty cool, but the keys were eaten by the cat
My blood sugar is a mess because I’m only eating crap
Oh, I’d love you to come over but you’d have to climb in through the window
The landlady sealed the door, but I still live here and she mustn’t know, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

This is st*pid, so ridiculous
You’ve forgotten what you learned from us
Is this really what you tried to achieve?
But I need this, want no shiny things
Drum on tin cans, play the rusty strings
In the end, it just means everything to me

All the time they tell me I should change it
And that I’ll never make it
They’re calling me naive
But as long as I can play it
I know I’ll never change it
It’s who I want to be

Yeah, they tell me I should change it
And that I’ll never make it
They’re calling me naive
But as long as I can play it
I know I’ll never change it
It’s who I want to be
