The Importance of Being Idle

I sold my soul for the second time'Cause the man, he don't pay meI begged my landlord for some more timeHe said "Son, the bills are waiting"My best friend called me the other nightHe said "Man are you crazy?"My girlfriend told me to get a lifeShe said "boy, you're lazy"But I don't mindAs long as there's a bedBeneath the stars that shineI'll be fine, if you give me a minuteA man's got a limitI can't get a life,If my heart's not in itBut I don't mindAs long as there's a bedBeneath the stars that shineI'll be fine, if you give me a minuteA man's got a limitI can't get a lifeIf my heart's not in itI lost my faith in the summer time'Cause it don't stop rainningThe sky all day is as black as nightBut I'm not complainingI begged my doctor for one more lineHe said "Son, words fail me"It ain't your place to be killing timeI guess I'm just lazyBut I don't mindAs long as there's a bedBeneath the stars that shineI'll be fine, if you give me a minuteA man's got a limitI can't get a lifeIf my heart's not in it
