He's Stayin' Put (Mom's Basement Blues)

User avatar




Anthony works in the grocery store
Sackin' groceries to get paid
So his mama left a note on the door
She said, "Time to move out of my basement"
Barely workin' get's you
a card board shack (ack)
You oughta know by now (oughta know)
Reality gives you panic attacks
But not if you just earned more money

It's really just a good time
If that's what it's all about
But if Mama's payin' up
Then.....
He's stayin' put

Timothy went to College up the street
And now he's just deeply in debt
His degree's in gender studies
Didn't plan to eat
Across from the medical center
He's hoping to get a job as a barista
You oughta know by now
Though he lacks the drive
Needs some Prozac
At least he can operate blenders

It's really just a good time
If that's what it's all about
But if Mama's payin' up
Then
He's stayin' put

You should never argue with a lazy man (mmm)
You oughta know by now
He can get Uncle Sam to pay his bar tabs
He just has to cast votes for Bernie
If that's all you have in mind
If that's all you're all about
Good luck growin' up
He's not moving out

He's stayin' put

He's stayin' put
