The Importance of Being Idle
I sold my soul for the second time'Cos the man, he don't pay meI begged my landlord for some more timeHe said “Son, the bill's waiting”
My best friend called me the other nightHe said “Man, are you crazy?”My girlfriend told me to get a lifeShe said “boy, you lazy”
But I don't mindAs long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shineI'll be fineIf you give me a minuteA man's got a limitYou can't get a life if your heart's not in it
I don't mindAs long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shineI'll be fineIf you give me a minuteA man's got a limitI can't get a life if my hearts' not in it
I lost my faith in the summertime'Cos it don't stop rainingThe sky all day's as black as nightBut I love complaining
I begged my doctor for one more lineHe said “Son, words fail me”It ain't no place to be killing timeBut I guess I'm just lazy
I don't mindAs long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shineI'll be fineIf you give me a minuteA man's got a limitI can't get a life if my hearts' not in it
