lyrics
Thirty Years and I’ve got nothing to show for it
A bank account with moss growing in it
High hopes flew just a little high
The king of bees that’s what they call me
An imbecile with no sense of history
Self-esteem ran a little low
It’s too hard for me boys,
I’m too tired today
Why put off tomorrow
What you can put off today?
Procrastination is my name
Water and wine late last night
When God called from his satellite
With a job that none of the angels want
The patron saint of underachievers
The under loved and unbelievers
I signed on the dotted line
It’s too hard for me boys,
I’m too tired today
Why seek employment?
When you can sleep in today
Procrastination is my name
I sacrificed, worked to achieve
Now they’ve nailed me to a tree, well
Things got a little out of hand
Martyrs, sinners, saints, and fools,
I’d commend myself to you
But I’m late for my own funeral
I’ll go back to school boys
A graduate degree
Me and David Turner
In school for eternity
Procrastination is my shame
A bank account with moss growing in it
High hopes flew just a little high
The king of bees that’s what they call me
An imbecile with no sense of history
Self-esteem ran a little low
It’s too hard for me boys,
I’m too tired today
Why put off tomorrow
What you can put off today?
Procrastination is my name
Water and wine late last night
When God called from his satellite
With a job that none of the angels want
The patron saint of underachievers
The under loved and unbelievers
I signed on the dotted line
It’s too hard for me boys,
I’m too tired today
Why seek employment?
When you can sleep in today
Procrastination is my name
I sacrificed, worked to achieve
Now they’ve nailed me to a tree, well
Things got a little out of hand
Martyrs, sinners, saints, and fools,
I’d commend myself to you
But I’m late for my own funeral
I’ll go back to school boys
A graduate degree
Me and David Turner
In school for eternity
Procrastination is my shame
