I never knew things could get so bad Well don't you think you tend to over-react Everyone knows that life ain't fair So quit your whining cause nobody cares Waaaaannnnnhhhh Waaaaannnnnhhhh Waaaaannnnnhhhh Don't be such a drag! You don't like parties you think they're boring Gotta go to work, wake up in the morning You keep saying you wanna go home But when you get there you just bitch and moan Waaaaannnnnhhhh Waaaaannnnnhhhh Waaaaannnnnhhhh Don't be such a drag! Well who asked you anyway? Don't be such a drag! You wanna know what your problem is You've gone and got yourself in a fix Hanging out now is hit or miss You gotta go pick up your kids Waaaaannnnnhhhh Waaaaannnnnhhhh Waaaaannnnnhhhh Don't be such a drag!

I like your neighborhood I should go there Do something good Daytime in the sun Alone together on the Beach Heather My rusty car wheels Fit perfect in the groove Forgotten train tracks Smooth afternoon cruise Alone together on the Beach Heather Alone together on the Beach Heather Alone together on the Beach Heather Alone together on the Beach Night falls, there's nobody else alive Our only witness, an empty sky guided footsteps by lightning bugs hear the surf singing La la la la Alone together on the Beach Heather La la la la Alone together on the Beach Heather La la la la Alone together on the Beach Heather La la la la Alone together on the Beach Heather La la la la Alone together on the Beach La la la la Alone together on the Beach La la la la Alone together on the Beach La la la la Alone together on the Beach
