All of these restaurants are miles away And I don't have a car I just got off the bus And I don't feel like getting back on there To smell **** and despair Like I just did from the guy sitting in front of me Who was watching what looked like a 6 inch TV You know the ones from the 80's That had those long antennas Which were great if you wanted to watch the six o'clock news Like my father did But no good for me When I wanted to watch MTV and try and catch the video for Thriller Or Metallica's One I was never good at working the VCR in time to record So I would go to my friend Brian's house And sit in his bedroom while he pooped in the tape We would watch the end of a car commercial Before the crickets started chirping And Michael Jackson's car broke down After which we would walk up to Pioneer Pizza and get a couple of slices If I had Pioneer Pizza near me now That is where I would be walking for dinner Instead of staring at the list of restaurants For the category of food that I want That all sit 8.1 miles away and farther

Dinner Dilemma
All of these restaurants are miles away And I don't have a car I just got off the bus And I don't feel like getting back on there To smell **** and despair Like I just did from the guy sitting in front of me Who was watching what looked like a 6 inch TV You know the ones from the 80's That had those long antennas Which were great if you wanted to watch the six o'clock news Like my father did But no good for me When I wanted to watch MTV and try and catch the video for Thriller Or Metallica's One I was never good at working the VCR in time to record So I would go to my friend Brian's house And sit in his bedroom while he pooped in the tape We would watch the end of a car commercial Before the crickets started chirping And Michael Jackson's car broke down After which we would walk up to Pioneer Pizza and get a couple of slices If I had Pioneer Pizza near me now That is where I would be walking for dinner Instead of staring at the list of restaurants For the category of food that I want That all sit 8.1 miles away and farther
