Green Day
Longview (Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia 11/14/97)
[Intro]
Alright
Beautiful people, beautiful people
Beautiful people, beautiful people
(Beautiful people, beautiful people
Beautiful people, beautiful people)
[Verse 1]
I sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old (shit!)
In a house with unlocked doors, and I'm fuckin' lazy
[Chorus]
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smеll like shit
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Peel me off this vеlcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell and I lost the key
[Chorus]
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smell like shit
[Bridge]
I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration, huh!
[Verse 3]
I sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will (We will!)
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
(When masturbation's lost its fun, you're fucking lonely)
[Outro]
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
I'm tripping away to paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth
