Longview (Cassette Demo) lyrics

[Bass Intro]

[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old sh*t
In a house with unlocked doors, and I'm f*ckin' lazy

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smell like sh*t

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt]
Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I closed the door to my own cell and I lost the key

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smell like sh*t
[Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt]
I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration, huh!

[Verse 3: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool]
I sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will (We will!)
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost its fun, you're f*cking lonely

[Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Bite my lip and close my eyes, oh
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smell like sh*t
