When I was a young boy They said you're only gettin' older But how was I to know then That they'd be cryin' on my shoulder Put your money in a big house Get yourself a pretty wife She'll collect your life insurance When she connects you with a knife Somebody get the doctor I'm feelin' pretty poor Somebody get the stretcher Before I hit the floor Somebody save me I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree Somebody save me Save me Everybody's got opinions But nobody's got the answers And that shit you ate for breakfast Well it'll only give you cancer We're runnin' in a circle Runnin' to the morning light And if ya ain't quite workable It's been one hell of a night Somebody get the doctor I think i'm gonna crash Never paid the bill Because i ain't got the cash Somebody save me I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree Somebody save me Save me Look out Save me I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree Somebody save me, oh Save me Somebody save me I'm goin' down for the last time, look out Save me Sa-a-a-a-a-a-ave me Save me
