Wondering what I'm doing tonight 
I've been in the closet and feel all right
Ran out of Carbona Mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray too 
It's TV's fault why I am this way

Mom and pop want to put me away 
From the early morning movie to the late late show
After it's over nowhere to go 
And I'm not sorry for the things I do

My brain is stuck from shooting glue 
I'm not sorry for the things I do
Carbona not glue
