The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness Lyrics
There's a kid I know but not too well
He doesn't have a lot to say
Well this boy lives right next door and he
Never has nothin' to say
It doesn't seem like he does anything
He never helps out in the yard
He lets his mother carry in groceries
Cause he doesn't plan to work too hard
The boy next door is into better things
As far as I can see
The boy next door is into bigger things
The boy next door is me, all right
Well he's not like the boys we used to have
Not like them at all, oh no
Those ones made their parents proud
This one beats 'em all
The boy next door is into better things
As far as I can see
The boy next door is into bigger things
The boy next door is me, yeah
He doesn't have a lot to say
Well this boy lives right next door and he
Never has nothin' to say
He never helps out in the yard
He lets his mother carry in groceries
Cause he doesn't plan to work too hard
As far as I can see
The boy next door is into bigger things
The boy next door is me, all right
Not like them at all, oh no
Those ones made their parents proud
This one beats 'em all
As far as I can see
The boy next door is into bigger things
The boy next door is me, yeah

Yah, go ahead and blame your own awkwardness on the boy next door. That'll solve all of those issues that tear you to pieces on the inside so much. It's time to take some responsibility, guys. You're great musicians, though.
@Seattle_Junkie_Queen The boy next door is into bigger better things. He admits he doesn't know him too well.

In reply to the first comment - he's not blaming the boy next door - just the opposite. He is coming to the realization that he is that boy. He can pretend that he's above all those petty obligations because he's "into bigger things", but the truth is he's only justifying himself for being lazy and disrespectful. And now that he's recognized it, it's time to change.
@thebarrister The lyrics aren't even the same as they used to be. They turned an interesting song into a boring ultra-conformist version of a wannabe Daniel Johnston song.

Little Tony was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another. After the 6th candy bar, a man on the bench across from him said, “Son, you know eating all that candy isn’t good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat.”

Weird that this isn't the song I remember at all. It doesn't even have the song title in the lyrics.

@invisaninja You have a neighbor who's into bigger things? Not much of a story.
