Here you are, reading some book When you should be out there Playing football and eating ***** We got work to do You gotta move those shingles I gotta hammer those nails Don’t carry so much up the ladder at once You’ll wreck your back and slow me down I don’t want to be stuck here with you all day There you are, writing again You look so different with a pen in your hand Without packs of shingles on your shoulders I don’t understand why you do that You’re supposed to be a baseball star You’re supposed to win, make me proud You’re supposed to hate the ******* Crack jokes and laugh at the queers I just want to be proud of you Anyway, the last teardown left a huge mess Put down that pen, grab that pick, and get in my truck These shingles ain’t moving themselves
