lyrics
well i don't wanna go to work today.
no i don't wanna go to work today!
well i’m just so tired,
but i could get fired. oh yes, i may.
and i don't wanna go to class today.
no i don't wanna go to class today!
well i don’t think i’ll get the A.
i don’t think so. no way. oh but that's ok!
well i'm sick of the routine. i'm sick of the grind.
one more day of this and i'll lose my mind!
can ya take me away on a holiday, today?
(in every way!)
well i don't wanna go to work today.
and i don't wanna go to class today.
cause i just wanna, hey hey...
cause i just wanna pick up my guitar and play!
well i'm sick of the routine, i'm sick of the grind.
one more day of this and i'll lose my mind!
can ya take me away on a holiday, today?
oh can ya take me away on a holiday?
take me away on a holiday?
can ya take me away on a holiday, today?

spring ‘03. another cheesy, fun song—i think everyone feels this way at times. originally included as part of the 2003 “daytona ep“ but i always wanted to re-record the song in a higher key. various parts recorded in apr./may/aug./sep./dec. ‘07 at highland, but the original “bracelet tapping on guitar case” percussion beat was kept.
