== Lyrics ==
<pre>staying late at work
on a friday night
eat a banana
for dinner
call it a day
surf the internet
until you fall asleep
at your desk

listen in headphones
to the happy mix you made
read about the things
you used to do
on the internet
you used to be so cool
how did it turn out
that now you're

working late again
on friday of all nights
you take a break to think
about all the things you'd say
if saturday
were the last day
ever

drinking whiskey
and thinking about
going home and
changing the strings
on the acoustic guitar
but not doing it

you'd only play
the only chords you know
in various successions
with varying degrees
of success
you don't care
you've given up on
love songs for now

you could go out
paint the town red
you would dress to kill
and stop their hearts dead
but you could really get something done
since you're the only one still there

sometimes it's easier
to work through it
to forget about it

and after a while you don't even notice
when the week ends

at home the kitchen table
has been painted red
and the walls are hung with
waiting paper
but if you have the time
you just mine old lyrics
you've got nothing new
to say

when you get bored
you write some email
to people you don't
really know anymore
and ask them how's life
how's grad school
do you ever hear from
oh dear
what's his name

oh you could go out
and paint the town red
your smile would slay
a thousand happy men
but you could really get something done
uninterrupted by anyone

sometimes it's easier
to work through it
to forget about it

and after a while you don't even notice
when the week ends

sometimes it's the easiest thing to do
and i should know
i'm working so hard
to forget about you, too</pre>

good lord. i guess i meant this to be funny but on the whole it's rather sad instead. however, we have a capo! hurrah! this means i don't know what the chords are though.
