Sometimes in public I eavesdrop
In flip-flops, in tanktops, at coffee shops
I wonder why there are people around
Sitting down, tanned & brown, all over town
How do they survive without working nine to five is just a mystery
Going into work, and being treated like a jerk is all history
In the daytime
... in plain sight, in daylight
In the daytime
... money is time, and we’re fine in the daytime
Sure there’s some things that I can’t afford
Nice keyboard, new surfboard, my landlord
But I’ve got all the time to do what I want
A hot dog, restaurant, I’m a lunch savant
Life is just a ball, and I want to have it all,
But I won’t nitpick
Life is just a bitch, and I don’t want to get rich, unless I ...
Get rich quick
In the daytime
... snobby slobs, with no jobs
In the daytime
... money is time, and we’re fine in the daytime
Days turn into months and months turn into years
Staying here, drinking beers with my peers
I can’t help but think that there’s something more
Than outdoor bookstores with sophomores
Needing a breakthrough about choosing what to do
I can’t decide
Can’t do this forever, got to get my shit together, and then
I backslide
In the daytime
... in plain sight, in daylight
In the daytime
... snobby slobs, with no jobs
In the daytime
... money is time, and we’re fine in the daytime
In the daytime
... money is time, and we’re fine in the daytime
