Verse One
Clutter in the closet and under the bed —
this one’s for the slackers.
Cheat day every day. I’ll start tomorrow.
This one’s for the slackers.
Chorus
I’ve always found
a way to skin my knees
on even ground
where others seem to walk easily
Verse Two
Disappointed looks from the ones you love —
this one’s for the slackers.
Promises broken, opportunities lost.
This one’s for the slackers.
Chorus
I’ve always found
a way to skin my knees
on even ground
where others seem to walk easily
Break
(Verse progression and melody, guitar only. Same as intro.)
Verse Three
Payment’s late, off to default.
This one’s for the slackers.
Paycheck’s gone, but I’ll save next month.
This one’s for the slackers.
Chorus
I’ve always found
a way to skin my knees
on even ground
where others seem to walk easily
Verse Four
They’ll call you a slacker from inherited mansions.
Well this one’s for the slackers.
We struggle for a fraction of what others are born with.
This one’s for the slackers.
Chorus
I’ve always found
a way to skin my knees
on even ground
where others seem to walk easily
I always find
some way to skin my knees
on even ground
where others seem to walk easily
