I'm sitting on the basement tapes
I don't gotta try so hard
I don't gotta try no more
I don't gotta care at all
I don't gotta wake up

I don't gotta go hard in the morning
I could just waste some time
I could just sit here in unemployment

I'm sitting on the basement tapes
I'm gonna get my teeth fixed
I'm never gonna be rich
I could just sit here while I enjoy this

I hear my dad pray every morning
We'll even say grace sometimes
Everything will be alright
I even heard the Angel sing
I'm never gonna be something
Everything will be alright

Whatever gets you sleep at night
I'm sitting on the basement tapes
Text my girlfriend every morning
Tell her how much I adore her
Tell her how much I look for her

I'm sitting on the basement tapes
I don't gotta try so hard
We don't gotta cry no more
We don't gotta care at all
We never gotta wake up

We never gotta go hard in the morning
We could just waste some time
Everything will be alright
I'm sitting in abasement
