Massive Laminate Fortress
Hazy cannabis porches
Saying no to the bores
It's not mine or yours then I said
The wait it sucks I don't mind waiting
once you get here there's no more gates and
I gotta say

Stealing happy hours

Stealing happy hours, yeah

---> Play Riff 1 over:
Don't wait one minute more to ask me
You make me feel like Hank Chinaski
In war all the time, war, war all the time
We're snatching bits of time that
No one else can seem to find

Stealing happy hours
Stealing happy hours, yeah
Stealing happy hours
Stealing happy hours, yeah
