Hey Man's Day Out Lyrics

Sun was tumbling down

I was walking around

In a part of the town

Unfamiliar

Passing people and cars

Taquerias and bars

Strip mall was a scar

Darts and billiards

Some guy waves his hand

Says 'Hey Man' and I look away

Sitting all on my own

Staring down at my phone

Smoking half of a bone

Feeling hostile

A couple women with tracts

Come around from the back

Try to tell me the facts

About the Gospel

She puts one in my hand

Says 'Hey Man' and I give it back

Sister, yes I pray

Every day I pray it's

Hey Man's day off

Good God, it's Hey Man's day out

I ain't trying to make no friends

I don't need no ear to bend

I just ride this last nerve right up to the end

And then put myself to bed and try again

Bumping elbows and toes

Try to breathe through your nose

Just how it goes in the city

No you don't have to care

But you better beware

It sure ain't fair

It ain't too pretty

Try to understand

Hey Man ain't in, it's

Hey Man's day off

Come on, it's Hey Man's day out

Well I had my headphones in

And I thought you'd take the hint

I don't wanna fake a phone call once again

But here you come, clipboard and a pen

I'd love to save the whales

Or plant an acre's worth of trees

Or vaccinate the bees

Abolish all cash bail

I'll boycott anything you please

Just not right now

I'm sorry pal, it's

Hey Man's day off

Good God, it's Hey Man's day out

I ain't trying to make no friends

I don't need no ear to bend

I just ride this last nerve right up to the end

And then I put myself to bed and try again
