"A Song of Myself"
By Jim Robinson

Jim gets up drinks a coke
Jim yawns and goes to class
Jim rides the bus ‘cuz he broke
Jim can’t afford gas
Jim’s professor says he’s very smart, but he always naps
She says they need to talk, Jim says no time to chat
He tries to leave, but she raises a stink
She says, now hold on, what do you think?
Jim thinks maybe she outta mind her own god damn business and let him sleep
Jim doesn’t say it, though implored, Jim’s not stupid, just bored

*Chorus*
Jim eats a lot of Subway
Jim plagiarizes his essay
Jim sleeps in the quad
Jim naps on the job
A good career will be his reward
Jims not lazy, just bored

Jim wanders around the hallways at noon
Jim takes a big yawn, should be sleeping soon
Jim sees a pretty girl at the vending machine
She’s putting money in the slot, time to make a scene
Jim says that diet colas a good choice, it wont make you fat
She says what’s that supposed to mean, your such a drat
Jim has a long walk back to the quad, thinking all the way
Very bummed, but at least it’s a nice day
Jim’s lonely, finding some way to feel the gap
Jim says fuck it, let’s nap

*Chorus*
Jim eats a lot of Subway
Jim plagiarizes his essay
Jim sleeps in the quad
Jim naps on the job
A career will be his reward
Jims not lazy, just bored

Jim sits around after school, drinking his hot tea
Contemplating the world to the n’th degree
Jim considers going out to a bar, but probly wont
It’s colder than it looks outside, plus he can’t afford a coat
Instead he makes some soup, eats it with a fork
Though its only noodles, he wont eat meant, no beef or pork
Jim sits around all day, thinking of his schemes
How to conquer the world, with his new regime
Jim thinks that it would be cool be to the best
Though, that’s too much work, he’ll just rest

*Chorus*
Jim eats a lot of Subway
Jim plagiarizes his essay
Jim sleeps in the quad
Jim naps on the job
A career will be his reward
Jims not lazy, just bored

Jim has every reason, to get out of this place
Quickly pack up his stuff, leave without a trace
Pack up the car and disappear into the night
His roommates wouldn’t care, no goodbye fight
Then Jim thinks that it would be a pain to pack up the car
Besides the battery doesn’t work, he wouldn’t get too far
Jim thinks maybe he should go out and find a chick
But oh man its raining outside, he doesn’t want to get sick
Although Jim gets good grades, he still feels real low
Should he drop out of school? Nah, he just has one more year to go.

*Chorus*
Jim eats a lot of Subway
Jim plagiarizes his essay
Jim sleeps in the quad
Jim naps on the job
A career will be his reward
Jims not lazy, just bored
Jims not lazy, just bored
Jims not lazy, just bored
Jims not lazy, just bored
