All packed up, the people gone
All tucked in, the TV on
Tonight a bedroom for myself
I'm gonna keep my mental health

I could burn this country down
With the end of a cigarette
Why do you put up with me?
Why do I put up with this when

I'm not happy to be here
I'm not happy to meet you
I couldn't care about your relatives, no I
Couldn't give a damn, no I
Couldn't give a damn
I need five free minutes for myself

All strung out, the reasons gone
All bent in, and leaned upon
I give myself a talking to
Before I turn my tongue on you

Given time I've wasted it all
Smashed my clock against your wall
Talk is not what makes me tick
The second hand's the first to stick when

I'm not happy to be here
I'm not happy to meet you
I couldn't care about your relatives, no I
Couldn't give a damn, no I
Couldn't give a damn
I need five free minutes for myself

Right now, no time better, than right now
No time better than right now
No time better than right now
Than right now

I'm not happy to be here
I'm not happy to meet you

Happy to meet you
I'm just so happy to meet you
I'm just so happy-happy
I'm just so happy to meet you, meet you, meet you
Oh, oh, come on, hey
