Daniel Johnston - Lazy (eng lyrics)

Daniel Johnston - Lazy

Well I made some mistakes but
I ain't learned a lesson
that I don't wanna hear about responsibilities
I got less important things to do

I'm lazy - Oh yeah
Lost hopes and dreams down an empty road
see no tomorrow
but I got love for you girl
I'm just too lazy to give it to you

I'm lazy - Oh yeah
Well I quit college and I quit my job
I think I'll quit life
yeah I'm gonna quit again
I think I'll quit one last time

I'm a quitter - Oh yeah
Quit this, quit that, quit everything
I quit everything I ever began
Quit that, quit this, quit everything
I never finished anything I ever started
but I think I'm gonna quit being a quitter

Your right what is it about being depressed that makes humans want to listen to depressing music. weee want company and understanding too ffeeeell we are nott alone. thats where daniel is a key figure. Do you know love , I hope so, I don't and probably never will unless i can find a female alien living with you apes like myself. good day
