GREEN DAY LYRICS - Longview

"Longview"



Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on

Change the channels for an hour or two

Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit

I'm sick of all the same old shit

In a house with unlocked doors

And I'm fucking lazy



Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going blind

And I smell like shit



Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving

I sure as hell can't do it by myself

I'm feeling like a dog in heat

Barred indoors from the summer street

I locked the door to my own cell

And I lost the key



Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going blind

And I smell like shit



I got no motivation

Where is my motivation?

No time for the motivation

Smoking my inspiration



Sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling

Call me pathetic, call me what you will

My mother says to get a job

But she don't like the one she's got

When masturbation's lost its fun

You're fucking breaking



Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored

I'm going blind

And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes

I was slipping away to paradise

Some say,"Quit or I'll go blind."

But it's just a myth
