Lyrics
Real Late Starter
I woke up late today
Actually I do that everyday
Got no place to be seen, I'm not part of a scene
I'm a gen-ious loser
Keeping council with my own opinion
President of the state that I'm in
Should I just stay in bed? Should I live in my head?
Oh god, so many questions to ask
Oh, you could call me lazy
I think of it as taking my time
'Cause I don't wanna do what I don't wanna do
I'm a queen refusnik
But oh my god
If I was somebody
I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for lost time
Oh my god, if I was somebody
You'd be kissing my ass right now
But I'm so polite
I do it all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oh well
Day by day I wonder
If I would be torn assunder
By these things that I know, that nobody else knows
Or maybe it's the drinking?
Guess we should consult the Bible
Everybody needs a sign, oh
Bless the birds, and the bees
the flowers and trees
And blessed be the slacker
But oh my god
If I was somebody
I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for lost time
Oh my god, if I was somebody
You'd be kissing my ass right now
But I'm so polite
I do it all of the time
I missed my calling in life
You must be having a laugh
Oh god, you're having a laugh
No point of worrying
If my day's a disaster
Inside my little head
I'm happy ever after
Yes I am
Oh my god
If I was somebody
I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for lost time
Oh my god, if I was somebody
You'd be kissing my ass right now
But I'm so polite
I missed my calling in life
But oh my god
If I was somebody
I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for lost time
Oh my god, if I was somebody
You'd be kissing my ass right now
But I'm so polite
I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oh, what am I like?
Yeah, well
