Lyrics

Boredom

You know what I say, what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
You see, I never get around to things
I'm living in a straight, straight line

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Boredom

You see, I'm living in this old movie
But it doesn't move me
I'm the man who's waiting for the phone to ring
Bang-a-ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-fucking-ding

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Boredom

And now there's nothing that's behind me
I'm already a has-been
You see, my future ain't what it was
Well, I think I know the words that I mean

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
B'dum, b'dum

I'm taking this extravagant journey
And so it seems to me
You see, I came here from nowhere
And I'm going straight back there

You know me, I'm acting du-du-du-du-du-du-dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum, humdrum
Boredom, boredom

You see, I'm living in this old movie
But she does not move me
So tell me, who are you trying to arouse?
So get your hand out of my trousers

You know me, I'm acting dumb, dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Ohh
