Dear Liz Songtext
von Speechwriters LLC

Same ten songs on the radio
And I still don′t have a job
They call this summer vacation

I'm numb with frustration
Turn myself around so many times
I don′t know where I'm going
If you can see me, try not to scream
Because there's nothing that′s wrong with me
That′s not wrong with everyone

It's just that I′m aware of what gets me down
And what takes me there


And what makes me hang around
With surrogate family
Friends who can't stand me
Part of me′s thinking I'll just throw in the towel
But I need to start making money
So I can have money
So I can spend money
On things like girls and music and hash and bread
So I can eat and daily and not drop dead
But the letters of rejection, they keep piling up

Positions all filled, oh shit, I owe luck
I really need to get some resolution here fast
Tomorrow afternoon they′re gonna shut off my gas

Dear Liz, come back to California and save me
The summertime's driving me crazy
It isn't even Fourth of July
Thing is, you probably think that I′m lazy
Jobless and taking it easy
When I′m about ready to die
Ready to die

The night's too young and I feel too old
To be home alone and watch a cigarette smolder


Down to lips that shouldn′t be there
But I'm too drunk to notice, too tired to care
That I′m killing time like it's a friend of mine
It doesn′t even matter that the sun still shines
'Cause I'm here, it sucks and I′m broke
My life′s a fucking joke
I see another couple holding hands and money choked
To death, with my last breath

I can holler out your name because it's all I got left
Wishing I′d thrown that towel back when I could have, should have

Dear Liz, come back to California and save me
The summertime's driving me crazy
It isn′t even Fourth of July
Thing is, you probably think that I'm lazy
Jobless and taking it easy
When I′m about ready to die
Ready to die
