Phoning It In
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some folks make hasty decisions
They live their life on the go
I can't be bothered to give a damn bout anything and some people say I'm pro
You're busy climbing the ladder
I'm busy lying in bed
Its doesn't matter if anybody calls me and I'm gonna fuck off instead
Because
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
Don't care just phone it in
Get bored just phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
You busy yourself with fashion
I busy myself with fun
I'm busy painting these mini metal skeletons and you say I'm dressed like a bum
You say that you've got a passion
About what you've gotta do
You say you can't wait to buckle down
And start your day and I'm less excited than you
Because
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
Don't care just phone it in
Get bored just phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We are the ones
The ones who never give a damn
We are the ones
Without even a basic plan
Out in the Sun
We are the ones enjoying it
You work too hard
I quit, I quit, I quit, I quit and
I'm tired of people complaining
My best is not good enough
I'm only doing the minimum to get me through and if you don't like it then tough
Because
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
Want pizza phone it in
Hate work just phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
We're gonna phone it in
