Saturday night and you're still hangin' around 
Tired of living in your one horse town 
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground 
For awhile...

So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans 
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens 
It's like some pornographic magazine 
And you smile 

[Chorus : ] 
Captain Jack will get you high tonight 
And take you to your special island 
Captain Jack will get you by tonight 
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin' 

Oh yeah,... 

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date 
You just sit at home and masturbate 
Your phone is gonna ring soon, but you just can't wait 
For that call 

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes 
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes 
Ah, but still your fingers gonna pick your nose 
After all...

[Chorus: ] 

So you decide to take a holiday 
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet 
Ah, there ain't no place to go anyway 
What for? 

So you got everything, ah, but nothing's cool 
They just found your father in the swimming pool 
And you guess you won't be going back to school 
Anymore. 

[Chorus: ] 

So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot 
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot 
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got 
What went wrong? 

And if you can't understand why your world is so dead 
Why you've got to keep in style and feed your head 
Well you're 21 and still your mother makes your bed
And that's too long 

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
