Deadbeat Club Lyrics

Huh, Get a job, what for, I'm trying to think
I was good, I could talk
A mile a minute,
On this caffeine buzz I was on
We were really hummin'
We would talk every day for hours
We belong to the deadbeat club
Anyway we can,
We're gonna find something
We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain

We're the deadbeat club
We're the deadbeat club

Going down to Allen's for
A twenty-five cent beer
And the jukebox playing real loud,
"Ninety-six tears"
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time

Let's go crash that party down
In Normaltown tonight
Then we'll go skinny-dippin'
In the moonlight
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time

Anyway we can
We're gonna find something
We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain

Chorus

Oh no! Here they come
The members of the deadbeat club

An all-time favorite, it makes me nostalgic for experiences I never actually had.

Allen's was a great bar just outside Athens where you could get cheap beer, great burgers, and play pool. It's since closed.

Uh, about slacking.

yep. pretty self explanitory.

About being young. And missing it.

My Interpretation

This one really is mocking people who think that they can get away with partying all the time and not working. It's also mocking those who live in nostalgia and not the present. They'll do anything to avoid responsibility, and that isn't good.
