lyrics

The Grind [Live at CBGB]


I went down to this meat packing plant [repeat]
I went down to this slaughterhouse
And I saw this guy
Swinging on a hook
So I said hey Joe Jerk
Hey Joe Jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk
Hey Joe Jerk

How does it feel [repeat]
To be you
How does it feel [repeat]
To be like you

I went up to Paradise Lost [repeat]
I went up to Paradise Lost Retirement Village
And I saw this lovely old girl
She was clawing down the curtains
And she was screaming
Fire, fire, fire
So I said hey Gladys Night
Hey Gladys Night night night night night night night night
Hey Gladys Night, tell me something
How does it feel [repeat]
To be you

I’m just another Joe
I’m just another Joe
I’m just another Moe
Hey I’m just your average Moe
It’s just this daily grind [repeat]

I knocked and knocked on my apartment door [repeat]
But the door’s open, so I walk in
And I find myself sound asleep in an armchair
Bandages around my head
So I said hey now man
Hey now man man man man man
You gotta tell me
How does it feel [repeat]
To be you (me!)

I went down to my honey’s house [repeat]
And I sat down on her steps
And I walked up the steps into her kitchen
And she was there, and she was there
And she was bouncing off the walls
Wait wait wait wait
Hey now honey
Hey now hon hon hon hon hon hon hon hon
Hey now honey
You gotta tell me

How does it feel [repeat]
To be you

I’m just another Joe
I’m just another Moe
I’m just your average Joe
I really don’t know
It’s just this daily grind [repeat]
