This Boy Is Exhausted

lock me in
 tied to work
 splitting rocks
 cutting diamonds
 100 days
 with no pay
 not anymore
 cause I'm caught
 I can't type
 I can't temp
 I'm way past college
 no ways out
 no back doors not anymore
 but then once a while
 we'll play a show then that makes it worthwhile
 our sights set low
 as jerry squares off the set - here we go
 but... this boy is exhausted
 8 years long
 a single song
 come to this
 triple guessing
 double down
 a v.p.'s faith is one single long
 cause I can't write
 what I know - it's not worth writing
 I can't tell
 a hit from hell
 from one sing-along
 but then greg plugs in
 a treble checking that says we might win
 hell's henry pearls
 the woven strap wins the galloway girls but...
 but then kev jumps in
 and hits the floor as the stick hits the rim
 I guess we're done
 cause every win on this record's hard won but...
