Stuck here, in my room,
I feel blue,
I have better things to do,
What I see before me is a mess,
It’s my fault, I hate to confess,
(it’s all right) But I know what I have to do,
(it’s all right) To free me from this place, [BRIDGE]
(it’s all right) It’s going to be, going to be all right,
(it’s all right) When I finish, with this chore,
(all right) Rewards I will face.
(Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah)
Going camping and fishing too,
Swimming in a lake,
Slumber parties, going to the beach,
Eating chocolate cake,
Riding bikes is real fun too,
These things I love to do,
But there are two sides to everything,
Everybody has to pay their dues….
Week-ends were made,
To have fun,
But the yardwork, must be done,
Grass is high, weeds everywhere,
I ask myself, is this fair,
[BRIDGE]
(Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah)
Working out, going to the Gym,
Acting in a play,
Ice cream floats and petting zoos,
Recess everyday,
Computer games are real fun too,
These things I love to do,
But there are two sides, to everything,
Everybody has to pay their dues,
Pay your dues…
Pay your dues…
Everybody, …Everybody…
Even mom and dad pay them too,
(Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah)
Going camping and fishing too,
Swimming in a lake,
Slumber parties, going to the beach,
Eating chocolate cake,
Working out, going to the gym,
Acting in a play,
Enjoying music and amusement parks,
Recess everyday,
Even skating, is real fun too,
These things I look forward to,
But there are two sides, to everything,
Everybody has to pay their dues…..
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
