(I Couldn't Take) Another Day at the KFC
I couldn't take another day at the KFC
Three semesters at State didn't pan out for me
My wisdom teeth were aching
And my confidence shaken
And that pill I'd taken
Was artificially sweetened
But otherwise not doing much for me
I just knew I couldn't take another day a the KFC
Went to my friendly recruiter down on Cumberland Street
He had a triplicate form and strict quotas to meet
Said they got an oral surgeon
Right there on Parris Island
He'd have me back up and running
In time for basic training
All the rest didn't matter much to me
I just knew I couldn't take another day at the KFC
Cause I'd been burned
I'd been beat down
Lost my turn
In that grease-trap town
So just one more smoke
In an empty parking lot
Then I'd report
Shave my head, get my shots
Looking back it's kind of funny now to me
I hopped on that bus and took a window seat
No clue where I was headed
Just knew the motor was running
And two years committed
Would probably lead to something
Time being that was good enough for me
Cause I just couldn't take another day at the K
Yes I'd been burned
And I'd been beat down
I lost my turn
In that grease-trap town
So just one more smoke
In an empty parking lot
Then I'd report
And somebody else could punch that clock
The Colonel's pay could never make it up to me
Cause brother I just couldn't take another day at the K - FC
Three semesters at State didn't pan out for me
My wisdom teeth were aching
And my confidence shaken
And that pill I'd taken
Was artificially sweetened
But otherwise not doing much for me
I just knew I couldn't take another day a the KFC
Went to my friendly recruiter down on Cumberland Street
He had a triplicate form and strict quotas to meet
Said they got an oral surgeon
Right there on Parris Island
He'd have me back up and running
In time for basic training
All the rest didn't matter much to me
I just knew I couldn't take another day at the KFC
Cause I'd been burned
I'd been beat down
Lost my turn
In that grease-trap town
So just one more smoke
In an empty parking lot
Then I'd report
Shave my head, get my shots
Looking back it's kind of funny now to me
I hopped on that bus and took a window seat
No clue where I was headed
Just knew the motor was running
And two years committed
Would probably lead to something
Time being that was good enough for me
Cause I just couldn't take another day at the K
Yes I'd been burned
And I'd been beat down
I lost my turn
In that grease-trap town
So just one more smoke
In an empty parking lot
Then I'd report
And somebody else could punch that clock
The Colonel's pay could never make it up to me
Cause brother I just couldn't take another day at the K - FC
