I got a job in a chicken factory
On my feet eight hours a day
Plucking those little bastards
Loading 'em on a truck with a forklift
Taking 'em down to Little Rock, Arkansas
After that I caught a bus up to Minneapolis
I was gonna form a band with Paul Westerberg
But Paul Westerberg don't even live in Minneapolis anymore
Hey man, you got a smoke?
20 little guilt trips
My dad was the coolest guy I ever knew
Used to work on his car with a cigarette behind his ear
He always had yellow fingers
I was gonna grow up to be just like him
You should hear him cough now
I don't think it's emphysema
I think it's just allergies
I don't wanna get too preachy
20 little guilt tri[s
Hell no I haven't had a lung scan
You know what that shit costs?
I can't afford health insurance, and besides
I was gonna die young anyways
I got a new tooth though
It's made out of Strontium 90
It glows in the dark when I smile
Hey baby, check it out, come 'ere, check it out
20 little guilt trips
I love staying awake to watch TV
The was a Love American Style marathon on
Oh man, that's my favorite episode
The one where he kisses the girl at the end
Hey! How come my girl don't kiss me like that?
I brush my teeth
I put the seat down
I switched to menthols
I quit my job
Hey man, you got a smoke?
