I light up a cigarette flame it flickers, can’t forget,
The good times and the things I’ve done, embers red fill my lungs,
Watch the burning round and round, as I inhale a crackling sound
Slowly I just kill my self, suicide off the shelf
The ash falls down upon the floor like my spirits, I’m so bored,
My mind works fast but there’s no need, the day is young passes without speed,
Wishing away all my life, just to escape this mental strife
The toxins they fill my brain my activities numb and lame
Ooh don’t you leave my mind, seek an you shall find
Ooh don’t leave my mind, boredom has taken me, taken me blind
Entertain me, something has to change
I wish my life away, this I must rearrange
Is it my destiny to take all of this pain?
Entertain me, something has to change
I need my boredom killer
Throw the but on the floor, look around for something to see
Something to do, something for me
There is nothing here to do, boredom stabs me I feel subdued
I reach in my pocket for my cure, my boredom it’s a law
Ooh don’t you leave my mind, seek an you shall find
Ooh don’t leave my mind, boredom has taken me, taken me blind
Entertain me, something has to change
I wish my life away, this I must rearrange
Is it my destiny to take all of this pain?
Entertain me, something has to change
I need my boredom killer
