Our ode to shitty jobs

lyrics

It's 4:45 and the closing shift approaches slowly, biding our time
Smoking cigs in the parking lot, laughing 'bout how it oughtta be
It all came so naturally
Order Up! He said cheerfully, but wearing a frown
He was talking so vividly of how life could be, if he just had the courage to pack up and get out of town
He's sure that could be a movie star someday, but that's what they all say
And believe me we'd all love to pack up, get out and move far away
But where could we stay?

We make pizzas and heartbreaks and lie to ourselves
We watch football and baseball on our way straight to hell
And we don't take shit from anyone, that's just how we are
That's how it is in Johnny's Back Yard

Well a man named Tracey came in here last night
He'd had too much to drink, he was wound up so tight
And we all got a laugh from his antics, it all felt so right
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn......
He said stumbling I'm too drunk to drive
And the cab I called hours back failed to arrive
So I guess I'll be leaving, I'll walk in the darkness tonight
We'll take you home there Trace, it's really alright

We make pizzas and heartbreaks and lie to ourselves
We watch football and baseball on our way straight to hell
We take care of our own and that's everyone, that's just how we are
That's how it is in Johnny's Back Yard.

And we're 0-3 in Johnny's back yard!
(0-4 in Johnny's Back Yard)
(0-5 in Johnny's Back Yard!)
Oh thank God for Johnny's Back.... Yard.
