From Jeff Rosenstock:
When you're unemployed, it's tough to convince your pals to drink beers with you on a Wednesday night and it's also tough to hang out at a reasonable time when you're depending on the G train. Sean Bonnette from Andrew Jackson Jihad really delivered the goods on these vocals and e-mailed them over as if we were recording Get Warmer or something.
LYRICS:
Theres nothing less cool than feeling exhausted from hours of not doing a damn thing at all. Not thrilling to chill, steal bandwidth and cable, give shouts to employers and wait for the call. Theres a light shining out from the windowsill not content to project all day long. Maybe I could walk a little to the library. Closed. Maybe I could do this right for once.
Get my ducks in a row and just stop talking trash or whatever they say. Make the bed, sweep the floor, shake the carpet and spray. Put my shit in a pile, on the top slap a post-it, Dont worry, someday your skill set will be wanted. But today everybody is a little tired, its Wednesday. So at 10:00 Im walking down a chilly Boerum to Broadway.
And its you and me and a tallboy of Colt 45 or Bud Light. Whats the cheapest one? Get through one more night. I drink fast, I dont savor. Each way takes an hour and at twelve, Ill be gone.
