No Fun at Parties (lyrics)

Settled for attention deficit
when it was paperwork
that made me quit reading

Thought I lacked direction
but truth is stranger than fiction
and I wanna turn the page.

Subscribe to medication
Two a day makes you numb
to the promise "it'll be okay."

Can't talk about conspiracies
'cause I've tripped more than twice
and gone off the deep end, right?

Aching for back breaking labor
to feel like I'm doing something more with my hands
instead of clocking in and clocking out.
More to life than a grid
and no office in the wild.

Aching for back breaking labor
to feel like I'm doing something more with my hands
instead of clocking in and clocking out.
More to life than a grid
and I wanna find out.

Perforated pay stub paper cuts
leave the deepest wounds
And now I ain't so fun at parties
socializing like the board room.
And I'll spend my last twenty just to get my kicks
'cause working takes the god damn fun out of everything.

I'm no fun.
