  • When I was a young boy
    They said, "You're only gettin' older"
    But how was I to know then
    That they'd be cryin' on my shoulder

    Put your money in a big house
    Get yourself a pretty wife
    She'll collect your life insurance
    When she connects you with a knife

    Somebody get the doctor
    I'm feelin' pretty poor
    Somebody get the stretcher
    Before I hit the floor

    Somebody save me
    I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree
    Somebody save me
    Save me

    Well, everybody's got opinions
    But nobody's got the answers
    And that shit you ate for breakfast
    Well, it'll only give you cancer

    We're runnin' in a circle
    Runnin' to the morning light
    And if ya ain't quite workable
    It's been one hell of a night

    Somebody get the doctor
    I think I'm gonna crash
    Never paid the bill
    Because I ain't got the cash

    Somebody save me
    I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree
    Somebody save me
    Save me
    Look out

    Save me
    I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree
    Somebody save me, oh
    Save me

    Somebody save me
    I'm goin' down for the last time, look out
    Save me
    Save me
