Thirsty Merc - I Wish Somebody Would Build A Bridge lyrics
[Thirsty Merc - I Wish Somebody Would Build A Bridge lyrics]
Munching on a ham and cheese sando
In the morning on Friday
Cruising down the Pacific Highway
Thinkin' 'bout the day ahead
I paid the rent cheque
Got my registration and phone bill
If those two don't overthrow
Me the dogs will
But heck, at least I know the taste of bread
Why do I seem to spend my
Whole damn life chasing paper?
I'm like an actor
Turned-singer turned-waiter
I'll wait around until I meet with my maker
Then I'll sign up for AA or something
I just wish there was some other
Way to get myself somewhere
This little strip of earth and
All that I've done there
I'm like a bull ant on the leg of a sunchair
Under a magnifying glass
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm wasting my time
I take a phone call on the
Mobile while I'm checkin' the meter
One sec I need to turn up that little speaker
It's getting noisy in this little town
We're like America
We love to make a hoo out of jack shit
I never ever really seemed to fit
But now I'm stuck so deep in all of this
Come to think of it I might
As well be travelling backwards
It's been an hour and I'm only in Chatswood
I hate the way that I'm becoming a product
Go pick me up for $2495
I'm on sale and it's retail
In the world of deception
You can treat a man if
He can't get erections
Is there a pill for my lack of direction?
Thanks mate, I'll have a pack of those
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm wasting my time
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm losing my mind
Woo! Yeah!
That's right!
It's all good
I got a broom and a cheap Persian rug now
I can sweep the whole thing
Outta my sight now outta sight, outta mind
I'll keep on going until I'm
Pushing 30 or 40
And as long as I don't do something naughty
I love my wife, what a life
She comes home to find me spread
On the floor from blood poisoning
I popped a whole lot of
Pills and I'm shaking
And there's a needle sticking out of
My arm, I ain't faking
I'm zoning in and zoning out
You wanna help me, don't
Call me an ambulance, honey
Just get a Silver Service cab, this is funny
Just one passenger, please
Going up my own ass
You take credit card? Fuck this!
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm wasting my time, yeah
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm losing my mind, yeah yeah!
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm wasting my time, yeah
I'm wasting my life
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm losing my mind, yeah
