Jimme's Song Lyrics

Jimme takes his time as he washes his eyes
and then makes his bed up and then heads for the outside
And it doesn't make a difference every once and a while
if you've got nothing to do but sit around and think about
how nothing he could do could ever feel good

But he knows you gotta get a job if you're looking to move on
Like everybody else but it's the same thing
Always the same dream keeping him from moving
Saying

I don't want to do nothing but be in a rock band
I don't want to get a job, I don't want to be a man
I don't want to do nothing but be in a rock band
I don't want to do nothing at all
I don't want to do nothing at all

But then the bills pour in and he fakes it like to swim
But he still don't go anywhere
Until he gets too weak, they got him swimming in his sleep
And then he needs grab something to get some air
And so he pulls a job down at the landfill,
and he don't mind the working outside looking out on the turnpike
But the days go by and the fire in his side tells him
He'll never be right until the day that he dies
Saying

I don't want to do nothing but be in a rock band
I don't want to get a job, I don't want to be a man
I don't want to do nothing but be in a rock band
I don't want to do nothing at all
I don't want to do nothing at all

All his words fall down through the cracks in between
And spread like sunlight down on the world underneath
But up here they fall to nowhere they're just a feeling he needs
As he drives through the weeds
And through the swamps and through the trees

And as he is talking like he's holding a gun in his hand
but there ain't nobody there, it's just him waving his hand
And then he drives on to his guy at the van to get his
cup of coffee with three sugars for two dollars
And back to work another day another hour
He gets older by the minute
But there's nobody around him who can understand
Looking at a young man feeling like no one ever notices
They work the same day over and over

No, I don't want to do nothing but be in a rock band
I don't want to get a job, I don't want to be a man
I don't want to do nothing but be in a rock band
I don't want to do nothing at all
I don't want to do nothing at all
