I try to relax and just kick it but parking tickets

Makes me wanna tell the cops to stick it

And as I sink deeper into debt

Some stupid motherfucker stole my CDs and my tape deck

And hide from every cloud that ever came my way

But it’s Saturday and I just got paid

My drink impairs my ability to drive a car and operate machinery

Gives me problems with my health and my weath

And I’m pissing away my paycheck I need help, I need help.

I got a case of bad luck, what’s the deal? What the fuck

Do I gotta do? To get past this shit that I’m going through?

I guess I’ll write these words and hope this alcohol controls my nerves
