Lyrics
Sittin' around
Starin' at the ground
I look over at you
There's nothing to do
Nothing good on TV
No movies to see
Nowhere to go
Life is boring and slow
I'm so bored
There's nothing else to talk about
I'm so bored I think I'll take a walkabout
I'm so bored and I don't know why
I'm just sittin' here watching the paint dry
When I was a kid
The thing that we did
The old folks would say
Go outside and play
We'd grab a rock or a stick
And give it a flick
And in the blink of an eye
The hours flew by
I'm so bored
There's nothin' else to talk about
I'm so bored I think I'll take a walkabout
I'm so bored why I don't know
I'm just sittin' here watching the grass grow
I stare at the lawn
I stretch and I yawn
I look up to the sky
As these dull clouds roll by
No interesting shapes
Just zeroes and grapes
Is it poor imagination
That leads to my frustration?
I'm so bored
There's nothing else to talk about
I'm so bored I think I'll take a walkabout
I'm so bored and I don't know what to do
I'm just sittin' here cursing the dull view
Before I drift off to sleep
I get up on my feet
And stumble away
Through the drab cloudy day
No birds sing a tune
The cows are not mooin'
Not a single dog barks
There's no one here in the park
I'm so bored
There's nothing else to talk about
I'm so bored
Even on this walkabout
I'm so bored and I don't know when
I'll see something interesting again
I walk over the bridge
Where the water flows
I look down
Hoping my reflection knows
But the other me
Looks as bored as I
Like I'm bored to tears
In my watery eyes
The other side is bad
Hope it's just a fad
Just a passing funk
And everything's not junk
I long for better days
Beyond this sad malaise
Try to remember when I saw
Times that were not so blah
I'm so bored
There's nothing else to talk about
I'm so bored
Even on this walkabout
I'm so bored don't know what went wrong
I'm so bored I started singin' this song
And you poor shmucks
So out out of luck
That you've listened this far
Hardy har har har
I pity you fools
You're just unwitting tools
You've unbored me at last
And the end's coming fast
I was so bored
It really fascinated me
Which means I wasn't actually bored paradoxically
Remember this lesson next time your spirits fall
And if you think it through
You're never really bored at all
