lyrics

(written by the matthew show, BMI)

I’m in the cube, not on the stage
I’m 31, I’ve got the impotent rage

I play the lotto, I gotta win
So I don’t have to do this shit again

I eat the nougat, it’s my reward
For waking up and coming here and being bored

I coach the Yankees, from New Accounts
I make the money so my wife’ll let me whip my pee-pee out

I have a dream, it’s mine alone
That me and her and the mortgage company own

I know why the bird sings in the cage
I’m 31, I’ve got the impotent rage

Bought Krispy Kreme, went down real good
Just like the monkey on my monkey said it would

Turned on the news, it was Iraq
My wife’s been in here changing stations, where my Jesus at?

Well, here I am, on the road again
Just like that piggytailed old hippie said

And here I am, not on the stage
I’m 31, I’ve got the impotent rage
