jimme's song (full band version) - emanuel and the fear lyrics

[intro]
(whistling)

[verse 1]
jimme takes his time as he washes his eyes
and then makes his bed up and then heads for the outside
and it doesn’t make a difference every once and a while
if you’ve got nothing to do but sit around and think about
how nothing he could do could ever feel good
but he knows you gotta get a job if you’re looking to move on
like everybody else but it’s the same thing
always the same dream keeping him from moving, saying

[chorus]
i don’t want to do nothin’ but be in a rock band
i don’t want to get a job, i don’t want to be a man
i don’t want to do nothin’ but be in a rock band
i don’t want to do nothing at all
i don’t want to do nothing at all

[verse 2]
but then the bills pour in and he fakes it like to swim
but he still don’t go anywhere
until he gets too deep, they got him swimming in his sleep
and then he needs grab something to get some air
and so he pulls a job down at the landfill
and he don’t mind the working outside looking out on the turnpike
but the days fly by and the fire in his side
tells him he’ll never be right until the day that he dies, saying

[bridge]
all his words fall down through the cracks in between
and spread like sunlight down on the world underneath
but up here they fall to nowhere they’re just a feeling he needs
as he drives through the weeds
and through the swamps and through the trees

as he’s talking like he’s holding a gun in his hand
but there ain’t n0body there, it’s just him waving his hands
and then he drives on to his guy at the van to get his
cup of coffee with three sugars for two dollars

and back to work another day another hour
he gets older by the minute but there’s n0body around him
who can understand, looking at a young man
feeling like no one ever notices
you work the same day over and over

[chorus]
no, i don’t want to do nothin’ but be in a rock band
i don’t want to get a job, i don’t want to be a man
i don’t want to do nothin’ but be in a rock band
i don’t want to do nothing at all

no, i don’t want to do nothin’ but be in a rock band
i don’t want to get a job, i don’t want to be a man
i don’t want to do nothin’ but be in a rock band
i don’t want to do nothing at all
i don’t want to do nothing at all, hey!
