I don't wanna to go to school! Pencils! Notebooks! I'll definitely need at least ONE notebook. TI-89 calculator! Gym shorts, Mom! I'm gonna need gym shorts. Oh, I hope I have lunch money. I hope I have lunch money this morning I definitely forgot my pencil … but the math teacher is a babe! Wait a minute. What's my locker combination? 3, 8, 16. Thank you! I can – I can never remember it. So that's... that's my locker combination. Locked out, I'm locked out I wrote in the yearbook that I would see you in the fall I tried but I lied 'cause I don't wanna see you at all And now it is August 29th, you know it's really a shame When you sit next to me in Algebra, I am to blame I don't wanna go to school I don't wanna go to school today, Mom. I'm sick. So Sick. Oh, really?

Gunset 03:47
The world does not revolve around me But the moon sure does Oh, how lucky it must be To be the setting sun The sky is only the limit Until you surpass it Beyond the rising gun Flies Like flies and like planets Find warmth and surround it Eclipse is sure to come

Inside Jobs 04:03
[WKRM DJ] Alright folks, we're back here at WKRM The Kream, and we're taking your calls. You know, it's Friday night, it's the end of the work week; we know you've been busting your humps, and so have we. We've been inside this building, just listening to the music, and I'm sure you have been too, but we want to hear from you. Where have you been inside all week? Are you working inside, outside, inside out? We'd like to hear from you. What kinds of jobs have you had? Work sucks. I know. [Matt Brown] Yah, I used to work at a one-hour photo developing booth. I spent many, many a one-hour in a lonely dark room filled with all kinds of chemicals just perusing your privates, uhm, uh... memories. Private memories. I was responsible for exposure of things that should NEVER have been exposed. I could never seem to get the saturation right, though, cause, well, see, the truth is … I'm color-blind. [sigh] Guess I'll never be a pilot... It was an inside job, it was an inside job [Cody] Yah, I used to work at the Blockbuster; sitting at that counter all day long, watching the world go by outside that big glass front … and I rented a lot of videos, but I also collected late fees. I bankrupted so many promising young families for their copy of One Hour Photo starring Robin Williams on VHS. I was a loan shark, I won't lie. Then Netflix came along and you know what they did? They put me out of a job. I don't know what to do with myself, I'm idle all day, every day, but I know what I had and it was … It was an inside job, it was an inside job Inside job, it was an inside job [Kevin] I'm a television editor. I control what you see. Every title, clip, cut, split-screen (for a fee) I edit in a way to control how you feel and I do it so well I make you think, “Is this real?” It was an inside job, it was an inside job Inside job, it was an inside job Count with me! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 It was an inside job, it was an inside job Inside job, it was an inside job

Oh, Greta 03:35
Yes, no, maybe Oh, Greta You know I love ya But can't you see You don't belong to me Oh, Greta You know I want ya But couldn't it be You weren't maintained properly When I saw your ad Your eyes, they glittered like jewelry I paid too much Then I took you home And I fell asleep on your bench seat Oh, Greta You know I want ya But couldn't it be You weren't maintained properly Oh, Greta You know I love ya But can't you see You don't belong to me You're falling apart at every turn Maybe this time I'll finally learn I step on the gas, my lonely heart brakes Do you smell something burning? La, la, la, la … I'm on fire [Advertisement] Come on down to Dale's Auto Parts! We'll sell you anything, as long as you're willing to buy. We got brake pads, rotors, axles, carburetors -- Anything you need, here at Dale's. (simultaneously) Greta you know what you did to me baby? You know what you did? You hurt me so bad, baby. Deep down inside, I'm not the same anymore. You're rusty on the side Can't give me peace of mind You're driving me insane Stay in your lane, stay in your lane Oh, Greta You know I love ya But then again, who could foresee Your master cylinder broke within a year and a half And you know that she taint free
