Slacker Lyrics by Umphrey’s McGee

0

I had always tried to do the right thing but
In the end my results were just a little split off center from the most
Though the same was offered to everybody else I mean
What could you blame me for? Truth is I was just being representative of the Midwest
Though I always manage to show up just a little late
So what if I always managed to show up just a little late
In the end no matter how hard I tried I never seemed to make my ride on time
It's all too hard it seems and maybe just a little too much
But in the end I must confess that I have yet to ever offer my best

Well I met my challenge ya know, it fits your stereotype
There's a little more that I could mention, it's got something to do with my best intentions
And I've always done everything that's been asked of me
Never questioned if it was right. I was simply going along with some fucked up kind of life
Until I met my challenge, that's when you labeled me, ya know
I never thought about the implications of all your words unto my dedications
So this slacker fumbles through another day but
In the end it all depends on whether or not you're workin for another man's ends

I had always tried to do the right thing but
In the end my results were just a little split off center from the most
Though the same was offered to everybody else I mean
What could you blame me for? Truth is I was just being representative of myself
Though I always manage to show up just a little late
So what if I always managed to show up just a little late
In the end no matter how hard I tried I never seemed to make my ride on time
It's all too hard it seems and maybe just a little too much
But in the end I must confess that you have yet to ever witness our best
