lyrics

Well I live in a stupid apartment downtown
What I wanted to find, sure have not found
Thought I'd move and I'd be better in the city
 Now I wish I could turn back around

The kitchen sink's made for washing hands
And I get to my room through another man's
 Though there's lots of space, you might assume
I wouldn't pay the same rent as the kid with his own bathroom

Oh what a place to be
When I'm gone, I'm sure I'll see
All the things that I liked all about
This stupid apartment downtown

Thank goodness that smell finally went away
But the toilet, it is still broken
What I went through just to put electric in my name
You must have been jokin'

When I went into the small, dirty, so-called kitchen
I found a stove to be nonexistent
Can't cook anything, no I can't even hang
At this stupid apartment downtown

Oh what a place to be
When I'm gone, I'm sure I'll see
All the things that I liked all about
This stupid apartment downtown

The sirens from the firetruck
They come by just in time to wake me up
And the cats in the alley
They're not even friendly

Oh what a place to be
When I'm gone, I'm sure I'll see
All the things that I liked all about
This stupid apartment downtown
