human radio - these are the days lyrics
[verse 1]
jesus knocked on my door
much to early in the morning
in a polyester leisure suit
and his short blonde hair blow+dried
said a handful of dead presidents
would insure my swft salvation
and guarantee my reservation
at that members+only penthouse in the sky
well, i’d already blown my savings
on yet another meat hangover
so i gave the cat five dollars
and my brand new fishing pole
and then i said “if you’ll excuse me
i’m about to clean my rifle
and i ain’t got time to trife
with someone tryna sell vacations for my soul”
[chorus 1]
these are the days
i wish i’d been an astronaut instead
these are the days
i wish i’d stayed in bed
[verse 2]
i was watching my tv
with a quart of old milwaukee
catching up on all the murderers
when my telephone starts to ring
it turns out that it’s the president
telling me if he gets my vote
i will soon be wearing a mink coat
‘cause he’ll make all of us americans rich as kings
well, he had me hook, line, and sinker
even though it was just a recording
‘til the news showed guys on wall street
trying to fly without their jets
so i fed my german shepards
checked the canned goods in the bas+m+nt
and hoped the president’s replacement
hasn’t tried to get my telephone number yet
[chorus 2]
these are the days
i wish i’d been an eskimo instead
these are the days
i wish i’d stayed in bed
[guitar solo]
[verse 3]
nietzsche knocked on my door
said “god is dead and getting funky”
and if i did not believe him
“well just take a look around”
so i peeked out
the air smelled cheesy
and what trees were left looking gnarly
and i said “fred, get back on your harley
‘cause you existential creeps just bring me down”
[outro]
these are the days
i wish i’d been a maniac instead
these are the days
i wish there was no brain inside my head
these are the days
i wish i’d stayed in bed
