Lyrics
I heard it ringing in the background somewhere far, far away
So far away I could not tell
I heard it ringing in the background
Like a broken chandelier, ringing repetitive--a bell
What could it be? Why should I care?
It's just another problem singing in the air
I should wake up but instead here I lay
Looks like I missed work again today.
Some people tell me that I'm different
But I really think that they can't see the forest for the trees
They say a pattern has been forming
Somethings gotten in the way of my responsibilities
What could it be? Why should I care?
It's just another problem swinging through the air
I should wake up but what can I say
Looks like I missed work again today.
What could it be? Why should I care?
It's just another problem swinging through the air
I guess I should wake up but what can I say
Looks like I missed work again today.
Dang, I missed work again
Dang, I missed work again
Dang, I missed work again
Dang, I missed work again
Dang, I missed work again
Dang, I missed work again
Dang, I missed work again today
