[Verse 1: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
Committed, committed
I need to be committed
I need to be locked away
I need a straighter jacket on my crooked frame
I need to be admitted today

[Verse 2: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
Excited, excited
I need to get excited
And reconnect with nature, babe
I need to focus on the sunshine, freckles on my nose
Truth in every grain of sand

[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
I put my back into
Put my back into my work
I will receive what I
Will receive what I deserve

[Verse 3: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
Listen
You have to be patient
This new administration
Is doing the very best it can
But there's armies in the banks
Whom tired of the skanks
Attorneys for the Ku Klux Klan
[Verse 4: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
For God and for country
For Michael Jackson's monkey
Just take another on the chin
I was a singer in a band
They had sex in my van
And filling it with Mexicans

[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
Who put their back into
Put their back into their work
They will receive what they
They will receive all they deserve

[Bridge: Johnathan Rice]
It's a beautiful life
When we lay sleeping
With my beautiful wife and me
We'll hold each other closer till the end of days

[Verse 4: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
I made my decision
I will go back to prison
I will survive the end of my bed
The warden's in the hall, the markings on the wall
They say "dead man walking"
[Chorus: Johnathan Rice & Jenny Lewis]
I put my back into
Put my back into my work
I will receive what I
Will receive what I deserve
Make a commitment
