Right from the start the appeal
Was there, the place was a steal
The hair would take some getting used to
We signed the lease on the spot
Put all our shit in a box
And hit the town for a beer or two
But we were not among friends here
And something don't feel right
Those fancy beers are expensive
There's no change in sight
From $12 pints
No faster way to feel sick
And miss your home in the sticks
Than taking out a loan for a jug
All dirty looks and no smiles
Top knots and chinos for miles
I need a one-pack and a big hug
If you can even believe it
They bled my wallet dry
Said, "you can take it or leave it."
I swallowed my pride
And 12 bucks
Raise your moleskine wallets and sing
Make sure to sound pretentious
This is why we can't have nice things
'Cause they're way too expensive
Trade your Dreamcast in for a drink
So I'll just try to erase this
Try to forget this night
If I could get drunk I could face this
But I can't pay the price
