Pretty sure this is right.  The harmonics don't sound right tuned down a half step
like some of the other songs on the album.  Comments and corrections are welcome,
but I don't wanna hear it unless you're better at this than me, ok?  Enjoy!

Lyrics:

New Years Day, lyin' next to my bed with a
Hand in my pants and a song in my head
About being depressed 'til I figured out
It ain't the 90's anymore
I looked thru a Raygun and thru a SPIN
Then I ripped out the pages of clothes that were in,
Threw on my Pumas and tried to put it all behind me
Mona Lisa smiled as I was walkin' out the door
She said, "Yo, you gotta keep it real, just like the year before."
I second that motion and 20 thousand more

Chorus:
cuz I could change and you could change
But everybody would stay the same (I know)

Still on vacation with nothin' to do so I
Got in my car and I got a tattoo just to
Cover up the one that I got of you when I was drinkin'
I really only now regret the things I haven't done
Stayin' under covers in the dark it ain't no fun
I'd rather take my glasses off and stare right at the sun

(Chorus)
