Sheer Boredom (Slow Motion)
This one goes out for anyone like me who has been stuck in a small town where you have to drive at least a few miles to have an ounce of fun. A town like Pleasantville. The parody is hardly controversial as the original song is (contrary to other parodies on this page) but once I was incredibly bored (alright that happens like every day, that's why I spend so much goddamn time online) and just started singing about how bored I was and it came to me. I knew that I needed to start working on the new material anyways.
Oh yeah, and if you can't relate to this you are lucky! Take my advice and never move to a town where the population is 6000.
Ms. Jones taught me English
And she'll probably teach my son
Must get the hell out of here
Can't start a new life unless I run
What to do? Well there's not a lot
Sometimes in the summer
We'd sit here and rot
We didn't want to do it
But it's not like we had a choice
I want to explode
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
Of this small town life
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
I'm about to explode
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
My repuation will get me
My friend
If you would let me
It's time to go off
About how this place really blows
We could both get out
Driving into the afterglow
Two cups of coke the ice melting
And I start to scream
Get me out of this place
When
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
I want to forget these days
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
Small town life decays
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
And at home
My sisters listening to NSync again
Maybe that's why she's insane
I shut the door to her crap
And I smack myself in the face, wouldn't you?
See my best friend holding a knife
Because he hates his life
Rather kill himself than stay here
This is so not a beautiful thing
Death may slide close to me
Wont grow old to be
Getting out of here
Hollywood fantasizes my life
Dreaming about the urban life
I insight night life for your entertainment
I should keep on dreaming
I have an excuse excuse
And that's no joke
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
Oh yeah
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
IIIIAAAAHI
Sheer Boredom, I must let go
Oooooo
