"Saturday As Usual" lyrics - BRIGHT EYES

Virginia's almost sleeping
The night is getting older
There's static on the TV
She's lying on the sofa
The cats crawl over her

Jenny's in the garage
She's got the car in neutral
She rolls it out so quietly
It's Saturday as usual
It always is

[Chorus 1:]
And me I'm in my bedroom, drawing in my notebook
Because my hand thinks I'm an artist
But my heart knows I'm a poet
It's just words, they mean
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
I can't seem to do something more
When everyone will fall back

Daddy's in the backyard
His hands are getting dirty
And mom is in the kitchen
And her cake says that I'm thirteen
Another year

My brother went to college
To become a doctor
And if he studies hard enough
He'll end up just like father
Who hates his life

[Chorus 2:]
And me I'm in the bathroom
Crying out my eyelids because it's hard to be a man
When you're scared like a little kid
The world's become
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
And I can't see the point of patient love
When everyone just wants to get fucked
