Thumbs Off - The Clean

This little boy’s like all the rest

Cause he knows just what’s inside him

He’s never been put to the test

Cause he knows just where to find them

All his life he’s had it easy

You know he’s never had no problems

The house he lived in was so sleazy

But he still kept 'em coming

And who’s gonna pay your bills today?

And who’s gonna turn the girls away?

And who’s gonna make you feel okay?

And who’s gonna take your pills today?

And you know it can’t be me

Yeah, you know it can’t be me

Sometimes I just feel too much

And I don’t want to feel at all

He said to his mother one day, you know

«Mum, I really think I’m different»

She said, «Son, you’ll have to go

You know, it’s costing too much to keep you.»

The day was wet as he walked down the road

You know his head was full of sorrow

Little did he know he’d never see

His own home again

And who’s gonna pay your bills today?

And who’s gonna turn the girls away?

And who’s gonna make you feel okay?

And who’s gonna take your pills today?

And you know it can’t be me

Yeah, you know it can’t be me

Sometimes I just feel too much

And I don’t want to feel at all

He said to his friends, «Come on, let’s go

I’ll take you to the show now

They said, «No, no, look here my friend

You make me feel much older»

They left him alone sitting on the road

You know, his head was full of bourbon

Little did he know they’d never see

The ones he knew so well

And who’s gonna pay your bills today?

And who’s gonna turn the girls away?

And who’s gonna make you feel okay?

And who’s gonna take your pills today?

And you know it can’t be me

Yeah, you know it can’t be me

Sometimes I just feel too much

And I don’t want to feel at all
