lyrics

These plastic seats hurt my lower disc
And the coffee tastes like shit
Everybody's using names
That ain't anonymous
Valerie was my mom's best friend
Mr. Wilson used to teach PE
The group leader's that Chili's manager
Who yelled at me

This ain't how I planned to spend my Saturday
With these wastoids and dickheads in a basement AA

I didn't choose this, I'm feeling fine
But, I guess it's a crime to blow .29
I hate everybody's hugging on me
Asking me what's on my mind
Valerie says she's here to help
Mr. Wilson is proud I grew up
That Chili's prick says to call anytime
Pours bad coffee into my cup

This ain't how I planned to spend my Saturday
With these struggling people in a basement AA

Things get less shitty every day
And Valerie stopped pushing me to pray
One of these times I might know what to say
I'll stand up and share it and start with my name

I don't know if I'll go, I don't if I'll stay
With my friends and my kin in a basement AA
I don't know if I'll go, I don't if I'll stay
With my friends and my kin in a basement AA
