about

The very first song I ever wrote, quite a long time ago. I had a blast re-recording it.

lyrics

it's the early hours of dawn
i don't know what's goin' on
i just wanna go back to sleep
i long to count the frizzy sheep
i don't wanna go to school
it's just totally uncool
i ain't doin' any work
my english teacher is a jerk

i'll just fall asleep in class
they're so easy i know i'll pass
i could sit and watch tv
eat donuts and drink iced tea
better than school's greasy lunch
open cookies start to munch
i ain't doin' any work
i'll just stay at home and lurk

wake up now
you're feelin' stronger
wake up now
the days get longer

ooo i look in my closet i got nuthin to wear
aah i look in my dresser i'll go to school bare
what's that stickin up in the mirror
it's ghastly, it's my hair
