Lyrics

Lazy

Well I made some mistakes but

I ain't learned a lesson

That I don't wanna hear about responsibilities

I got less important things to do

I'm lazy - Oh yeah

Lost hopes and dreams down an empty road

See no tomorrow

But I got love for you girl

I'm just too lazy to give it to you

I'm lazy - Oh yeah

Well I quit college and I quit my job

I think I'll quit life

Yeah I'm gonna quit again

I think I'll quit one last time

I'm a quitter - Oh yeah

Quit this, quit that, quit everything

I quit everything I ever began

Quit that, quit this, quit everything

I never finished anything I ever started

But I think I'm gonna quit being a quitter
