Green Day – Longview Lyrics

Rock

I sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
I 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 fuckin' 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
Cha

You know when there's a fucking Sox fan right here
I fucking hate this shit
Here, you fucking hold this thing
Hold this, I'm coming down there
Right, hold on, hold on to me, goddammit
I'm gonna fucking...die

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it... (By myself!)
Alright!
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

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration, hwoo!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

I sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will (We will!)
Get up, you motherfucker!
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
Go!

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'm slipping away to paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth, yeah

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Come here, you wanna be-- I'll dance with you
Come here, I'll dance with you
Oh, come here, no no no, you, I wanna dance with you
Come here, come on, come on, come on out
I dance real good
No-no, I'm a sweet dancer, look at me
Come on now, come on now
Come on now, I swear to God
I'm really good on the first date
I'm really good on the first date
She won't do it?
Yeah, she won't do it?
S-she won't do it?
How about you?
Alright. I-I- Okay, how about you?
How about you, okay? I-I...
I'll be really naughty on the first date with you
Come here, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come here
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
