lyrics

I did my chores and made my bed because I’s supposed to
Cleaned my room, obeyed my dad because I’s supposed to
I raised my hand and waited my turn because I’s supposed to
Everything they taught I learned because I’s supposed to
I finished school at the age of eighteen because I’s supposed to
I kept on and got a college degree because I’s supposed to
Got a job, work it nine to five because I’s supposed to
Bought a ring and got me a wife because I’s supposed to
And what the hell’s all of this supposed to ever done for me?

I didn’t sleep a wink last night
Work’s drying up and money’s tight
Though I followed this old script line by line
The sure thing was a lousy bet
There’s holes all in my safety net
And it’s a goddam lie when I say I’m doing fine
Didn’t think this was what I’s supposed to get
By doing everything that I’s supposed to

I don’t stay out late & I hardly drink because I supposed to
No more Kool Filter Kings because I supposed to
I put money in an IRA because I supposed to
I pledge allegiance to the USA because I supposed to
I keep up with the local team because I supposed to
Laugh at my childhood dreams because I supposed to
I never eat before saying grace because I supposed to
Go to church every seven days because I supposed to
And what the hell’s all of this supposed to ever done for me

I didn’t sleep a wink last night
Work’s drying up and money’s tight
Though I followed this old script line by line
The sure thing was a lousy bet
There’s holes all in my safety net
And it’s a goddam lie when I say I’m doing fine
Didn’t think this was what I’s supposed to get
By doing everything that I’s supposed to

I button up and stay clean cut
Try to eat good and watch my gut
Clean behind my ears and between my toes
And always keep up with the goddam Jones

The sure thing was a lousy bet
There’s holes all in my safety net
And it’s a goddam lie when I say I’m doing fine
Didn’t think this was what I’s supposed to get
By doing everything that I’s supposed to
