I Quit the P.O.
I quit the P.O.
I QUIT the Post Office near me
To stand on a stage in a seedy corner of town not far from here
The P.O. paid my bills gave me (almost) middle class
Kept a roof over and paid all the bills
Even had enough to spend on the kids
What was I thinking I can’t pay for schooling
Playing in a dive bar
I quit the P O to pursue my dreams
Wake up look around at the damage I’ve done
Hope to wake up drunk on a rock star yacht
Forget about the damage I’ve done
The kids have the best toys but something’s wrong
They forget about their madness when they go on a shopping spree
They wake up drunk and pilled just like daddy
Don’t remember shopping sprees
So it’s on to the next vacation somewhere chic
With all the biggest stars
Rinse repeat make some money again
Go away to the Hamptons
Just to think I quit a steady job with benefits and health insurance
But if I didn’t I would’ve killed myself in that place with no regrets
