lyrics

I've got a broken paper shredder
I told my mum, she says her life's no better
Cause her dishwashers broken, and she lives in Hoboken
Which isn't quite in New York City, despite what they say

She's got ten cats and a husband
Who was in the war, and he lost his hand
And her sons in an awful prog metal band
And she had to sell all her brand new rings
Cause Daddy wouldn't buy her a Mercedez Benz
Which she needed to take Jimmy to school
Cause riding in the Clio he felt such a fool

And it all went wrong for mum when she
Married Uncle Lenny, who despite his name
Didn't have a penny to fix my broken paper shredder

When will life get better?
When will life get better?
When will life get better?
When will life begin?

There's a girl who sits in my English class
Who spends every weekend puking in the grass
You think someone might say
"Stop little daring, no drinking today"
But every Friday night you'll see her there
Lying face down, with chunks in her hair

She's a hot mess, and he's 22 tomorrow
She's a hot mess, and he's 22 tomorrow
She's a hot mess, and he's 22 tomorrow
But he's not going anywhere,
She needs someone, to hold back her hair
So he'll never leave, though he wants to be free
She's a hot mess.

When will life get better?
When will life get better?
When will life get better?
When will life begin?
