Callin' In Sick

(Album: Bad Hair Day - 1996)

Hit my snooze alarm for the twenty seventh time
Just don't feel like going to work I think I'll call my boss, then I'm
Gonna hack and cough and wheeze
Swear I got some strange disease
What's that little twerp gonna say
Hey

I'm calling in sick today
Calling in sick today

I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp
I could spend all day in my underwear wathing "Ernest Goes To Camp"
I could sit and count my hair
I could burp my Tupperware
I'm not busy anyway
Hey

I'm calling in sick today
Calling in sick today
Ain't going to work, no way
Calling in sick today

I can do anything I want to
I am invincible now
I'm on fire, baby
I'm alive, I'm alive, can you hear me, world?
I'm alive

Maybe I'll spend all day staring at the sun
And trying not to squint
Maybe I'll make a huge color tapestry from
My belly button lint
When I'm sick of taking abuse
I just make up some lame excuse
Freedom's just seven digits away
Hey

I'm calling in sick today
Calling in sick today
Ain't gonna work, no way
Calling in sick today
