lyrics

I was walkin' around the other day
I met a man, and he said hey
I like your style I like your smile
Tell me do you have a while?
I said sure old man we can sit and talk
I've got nowhere to go, just out for a walk
He turned to me and with a stare
Said that's a problem, you should be aware

Garbage in garbage out
Is what you get
When you tend to just barely exist
And treat life as though it's one big bore
Garbage in garbage out
You get what you ask for

That kind of hit me all at once
He repeated again, but still I was lost
I said hey old man, do you know what it means?
And what the heck, I've got me some dreams
I'm all tied up ah presently
But there's tomorrow, I'll find those dreams
He just looked at me and shook his head
Then once again those words he said

Garbage in garbage out
Is what you get
When you tend to just barely exist
And treat life as though it's one big bore
Garbage in garbage out
You get what you ask for

I started to laugh, but he didn't blink
He was serious, I was curious
Couldn't figure it out, it didn't make sense
Some foreign talk some strange language
Then I said to him, hey who are you?
To talk that way to me today
I'm in a hurry I've got to go
I'm meeting a friend at the picture show

He stood up and walked away
Didn't even say good day
I watched him stop another lamb
That crazy guy, that crazy old man
Too bad for him he is so old
He'll probably die in a month or so
But hey I'm alive, I've got the time
I've got nowhere to go and I'm feelin' fine

Garbage in garbage out
Is what you get
When you tend to, just barely exist
And treat life as though it's one big bore
Garbage in garbage out
You get what you ask for
