Jimmy Jimmy - Ric Ocasek

Hey Jimmy

What’s the matter with you tonight

Nothing to do

Can’t think of anything to do

Got to get out of here

Go out and watch a fight

Open up some heads

Go for life

That’s not dead

Got to get some kicks instead

Of just sitting around

Thinking about what’s wrong

With everything in your life

Tonight

You can’t see too well

What’s going on

But there’s something going on

That you don’t know about

America

Nobody’s getting off

We’re all in this together

America

Nobody’s getting off

It must be now or never

America

Nobody’s getting off

Must this drag on forever

America

Nobody’s getting off

We’re all in this together

Hey Jimmy

They’re calling you back

They want you to come back

And take out the garbage

They want to talk to you

About something

They found in your drawer

Under a Hustler magazine

They want to cool you out

And ignore your problems

They want you to stay in line

What happened to my baby

Where did he go wrong

Why can’t he be like other kids

Just go along

What’s the matter

With these kids today

What’s the matter

With these kids today

Hey Jimmy

You don’t look so good tonight

Are you depressed

Or something

You look spaced out

Isn’t there something

You could be doing

Instead of watching TV

Or listening to the FM

Don’t you want to think about nothing

Don’t you want to do something

Are you pretending

Nothing’s wrong

America

It can happen here
