Thumbs Off Lyrics
This little boy like all the rest,
'cause he knows just what to say (to him?).
He's never been put to the test,
'cause he knows just where to find him.
All his life he's ???
Ya know, he's never had no problems.
The house he lived in was so shitty
but she still kept them coming (?)
And who's gonna pay the bills today,
And who's gonna turn the girls away,
And who's gonna make you feel OK,
And who's gonna take the pills today.
Yeah, you know it can't be me.
Yeah, you know it can't be me.
Sometimes I just feel too much and I don't wanna feel at all.
He said to his mother one day
"You know, mama ??? difference" (?)
Said said son "You'll have to go, you know it's just too much to keep ya" (?)
The day ??? as he walked down the road ya know his head was full of sorrow.
Little did he know he'd never see his own home again.
And who's gonna pay the bills today,
And who's gonna turn the girls away,
And who's gonna make you feel OK,
And who's gonna take the pills today.
Yeah, you know it can't be me.
Yeah, you know it can't be me.
And, sometimes I just feel too much and I don't wanna feel at all.
He said to his friends "c'mon let's go, I'll take you to the shoulder"
He said "No, no. Look here my friend, you make me feel much older."
They left him alone sitting on the road.
You know, his head was full of marbles.
Little did he know he would never see the words he knew so well.
And who's gonna pay the bills today,
And who's gonna turn the girls away,
And who's gonna make you feel OK,
And who's gonna take the pills today.
Yeah, you know it can't be me.
Yeah, you know it can't be me.
And, sometimes I just feel too much and I don't wanna feel at all.

Correct(er) lyrics:
This little boy's like all the rest cause he knows just what's inside him He's never been put to the test cause he knows just where to find them
All his life, his head in his tea You know he never had no problems But the house he lived in was so shitty but she still kept 'em coming
And who's gonna pay the bills today And who's gonna turn the girls away And who's gonna make you feel okay And who's gonna take the pills today
Yeah, you know it can't be me well, you know it can't be me
Sometimes I just feel too much and I don't wanna feel at all
He said to his mother one day ago "Mum I really think it's different" She said "Son, you'll have to go you know it doesn't do much to keep ya"
The day was wet as he walked on the road you know his head was full of sorrow Little did he know he'd never see his own home again
And who's gonna pay the bills today And who's gonna turn the girls away And who's gonna make you feel okay And who's gonna take the pills today
Yeah, you know it can't be me well, you know it can't be me
Sometimes I just feel too much and I don't wanna feel at all
He said to his friends "c'mon let's go, I'll take you to the shoulder" He said "No, no. Look here my friend, you make me feel much older" They left him alone sitting on the road You know, his head was full of marble Little did he know he'd never see the words he knew so well
And who's gonna pay the bills today And who's gonna turn the girls away And who's gonna make you feel okay And who's gonna take the pills today
Yeah, you know it can't be me well, you know it can't be me
Sometimes I just feel too much and I don't wanna feel at all
This is probably not entirely correct but a bit more accurate.
Your lyrics are much much much more correct! Except it's not "All his life, his head in his tea" but "All his life, he's had it easy". Which makes much more sense. :)

The third verse is pretty tough to make out, but from what I hear and from the flow of the story, I'd guess it goes a little more like this:
He turned to his friends but they turned away "you'll only make us older" He said c'mon, c'mon let's jol I think you'll do your shoulder They left him alone sitting on the road You know his head was full of garble Her voice was just clear as you and I know And that day he hit the wall
The meaning is a story about how he had it easy growing up, and now he has to pay bills and have to worry about responsibilities.
