lyrics

The fridge is running low
And the car tires pressed up on the curb
The television's on

The armchair warrior is alone
His feet propped up on the side
Of a secondhand futon

And the bills beat him home again
He jumped the steps, but they always win
So he walks real slow and he drives too fast
And he wants you to sign his cast

"Only avarice," quoth he,
Regarding time on his hands
And saved up on his face

The armchair warrior
Has a pension plan where he keeps his nights
He saves 'em just in case

He doesn't really think he'll get 'em back
It's just the principle, since he's in the black
It's borrowed time, that's what he's learned
You can't even keep the interest you've earned

The neighbors echo in from the hall
His eyes reflect in the mirror
His aftershave is stinging

The jumper cables
In the back seat, like alligators
The birds don't call it singing

They're just kind of OCD
Armchair warriors in a tree
With their puffed-out chests and bad comb-overs
He hides from them under the covers
