(Verse 1) Woke up with my face stuck to the floor My mouth is dry, I can't find the door The music's still blasting, but the party's dead There's a pounding in my skull, feels like a ton of lead My phone is gone, my wallet’s MIA I got a funny feeling I forgot what day It is, and my boss is probably gonna flip I see his 1-800 number on a little paper slip He's called me ten times, I should probably go But this couch is comfy, and I'm movin' slow I tried to stand, but my legs felt like lead I had a million responsibilities inside my head I was gonna be the model employee I was gonna show 'em all what I could be I had a big presentation, PowerPoint and all I was gonna stand up straight and tall. (Chorus) I was gonna go to work and get that raise But then I got stoned I was gonna pay my car insurance on time But then I got stoned Now I'm fired and my car's in the impound zone And I know why 'Cause I got stoned, 'cause I got stoned, 'cause I got stoned Rock riff slams back in. (Verse 2) The front door opens, it's my angry girlfriend She's holding up a picture of me and her best friend I look confused, 'cause I don't remember that She says, "We're done, you lazy, worthless rat" I tried to explain, I tried to make it right I said "Baby, hold on, I was just messed up last night" She pointed to the kitchen, where the sink is piled high She pointed to the dog, who I forgot to feed, and he started to cry I was supposed to take her out, a fancy dinner for two I had reservations, and a suit that was brand new I was gonna charm her, say the things she likes to hear I was gonna promise I'd be better this year. (Chorus) I was gonna be the perfect boyfriend, man But then I got stoned I was gonna remember our anniversary But then I got stoned Now she's packing her bags, and I'm sleeping all alone And I know why 'Cause I got stoned, 'cause I got stoned, 'cause I got stoned Rock riff slams back in. (Bridge) This life is a party, and the party's a mess I'm living for the moment, I gotta confess I'm chasin' the high, but I'm paying the cost Every single opportunity, I've gotten lost I should probably change, I should get a grip But every time I try, I just seem to slip I see the warning signs, they're bright and red But I just turn my back and light another one instead. (Guitar Solo) A wailing, melodic, slightly sloppy grunge-rock solo that builds in intensity before crashing back into the main riff. (Chorus) I was gonna clean my whole entire life up But then I got stoned I was gonna call my mom and say I'm fine But then I got stoned Now I'm right back here, singin' this same old song And I know why 'Cause I got stoned, 'cause I got stoned, 'cause I got stoned (Outro) Music fades with the heavy riff and scattered, lazy vocals. Yeah... I got stoned La-da-da-da, da-da-da Forgot what I was sayin'... Ah, whatever... Gonna do it all again tomorrow... Yeah, I got stoned.
