What Can I Say

8. What Can I Say


Call me up, look me up, ask me how I’ve been I’ll tell you fine
Pick me up, drop me off, have some cheese and crackers, have some wine
I pretend to listen to you talk about yourself
Your lips are moving, I say uh huh, I say mmm hmmm, I say...

Well, well, what can I say to you?
I’m letting my world fall away from view

It’s almost like I’m in a movie scene
‘Cept I’m just a shadow behind the screen

Took my shoes in for repair, couldn’t find a shoe fix anywhere
They were broke, what a joke, tossed ‘em in the trash, I’m a good American
I can buy them new 10 bucks, who really needs a shoe fix shop?
Just like your vacuum cleaner, boombox, TV, air conditioner
Blender, blue jeans, VCR, electric razor... trash ‘em all...

Well, well, what can I say to you?
I’m letting my world fall away from view
It’s almost like I’m in a movie scene
‘Cept I’m just a shadow behind the screen

Think I’ll get me a carpet, so I can sweep the dirt under it
Think I’ll find me a new man, Caspar Milquetoast this time dammit
I can change my life real good, just like everybody says I should
Go to work to pay the bills, consume a lot of booze and pills
To keep the headaches and the thoughts at bay, then find a doctor
Keep me going, keep me going, there’s no dying in this living death
Just keep me going, there’s no dying, keep me going...

Well, well, what can I say to you?
I’m letting my world fall away from view
It’s almost like I’m in a movie scene
‘Cept I’m just a shadow behind the screen

God bless America
God bless me and you
We live off the Land of Low Prices
So God bless Walmart, too....
