Dead Head Blues

No one's in the kitchen, but they got pasta on the stove.

I go on sitting and staring at them noodles getting hard and cold.

Marijuana in the main room, tobacco on the balcony.

My friends are stuck in a cycle. They're acting just like me.

I used to roll burritos, but the boss man sent me home.

Now I'm smoking all my paychecks and talking on the telephone.

So throw my textbooks on the fire. I ain't learning, I'm keepin warm.

Getting high, watching cartoons: don't mean a soul no harm.

Comments:
Wow. I really like this a lot. Not quite sure why, but the title makes me smile because my dad is very much a Dead Head. I get a sense of apathy reading this, and I know that feeling all to well.
And if you ever want to record this as a song, I would be more than happy to sing it.
 
Feel free to do whatever you like with it.

Burn our copyright laws!
