Backstory:

I was thinking about life in my frathouse.                                                                                                                                          

Lyrics:

spoken:
Hey y'all. Remember back when you got your first singles apartment? I know I do.
Maybe you were fresh out of school, still in school, or landed your first full time job.
Maybe yours wasn't quite like this, but I'll bet it reminds you of someone's place from
back in the day...or even to-day. Anyway...
intro
crank it up
V1
They're all furnished pretty much the same way
In the bedroom, you had the mattress on the floor,
protected by a mountain of dirty clothes,
milk crates for night stands,
the busted lava lamp with a glob of wax stuck at the bottom,
a stolen road sign on the wall was certain,
with a funky blanket for a curtain,
we'd sing:
Chorus
we're goin' hungry
and the rents past due
the car is runnin' on fumes
but we got tunes
yeah we can rock n roll
with our 9,000 dollar stereo
Sanyo
our 9,000 dollar stereo
V2
out in the hall it was the mystery stain on the carpet,
Budweiser mirror on the wall
On the balcony was the rusted out Hibachi grill,
plant with no leaves
bike with no chain
yeah it was insane
In the den the beanbag chair with duct tape to keep the stuff from fallin' out
Over there was the spool
If you had one of those, it was "coffee table time!"
then sing like a fool:
chorus
Bridge
the kitchen was craptacular
with dirty dishes piled high
garbage can overflowin' with empty beer cans and pizza boxes from the party last night
all the silverware was dirty
I came in one morning 'bout 9:30
found my roommate eating his Count Chocula with a spatula
we'd laugh and sing
Chorus
