[Verse] It’s lonely in the Garden State, the place of no left turns In a motel 6 in East Brunswick smoking till my lungs burn I put ice in the trash can to cool down my beer Breathe in the perfume in the room of the person last here I can’t stand this singing I can’t stand this song I can’t stand being home, but I can’t stand being gone My ears ring when it’s quiet and I ain’t heard a thing all day And I’d call if I could but right now I ain’t got nothing to say [Chorus] And so on And so long Can’t keep singing these songs Too long So on [Verse] First night we met we fucked on the couch in my living room And spent the morning pretending it didn’t happen, searching for your lost phone Which I found between the cushions below a pile of our clothes You said you couldn’t leave without it, Lord, I should have kept my eyes closed I left for work directly then for a fifteen hour day Made just over a hundred bucks, none of which I ever saved Didn’t hear too much from you before, never heard from you again Cause as soon as this shit starts, boy it’s, it’s bound to end [Chorus] And so on And so long Can’t keep singing these songs For too long And so on [Verse] I throw empty beer cans at the TV when I’m watching the news I hate republicans, I hate democrats, I hate liberals too I think pacifists are weak, and violence is wrong But I go limp for police and I fight when it’s called for The truth is I don’t know or care with who or where I fit in at all But I keep on living simple, riding fast and living slow I write standard boring songs with boring standard chords Just like the best and the worst, verse chorus, verse chorus, bridge, repeat [Chorus] And so on So long Can’t keep singing these songs Too long And so on And so on And so long I can’t keep singing these songs And so on And so on
