I was sittin' at home, drinkin' Budweiser, thinkin' bout takin' the buyout from Chrysler
Should I do it (no!)
But I was like (yeah, baby!)
'Cause I've been workin' here for like twenty years

I took the buyout, I took the buyout (I took the buyout)
I took the buyout, I took the buyout (I took the buyout)

For thirty days and thirty nights, Las Vegas trips and bright lights
Every weekend, night flights, main event at every fight
My pockets fat like cellulite
I really couldn't tell you right or wrong, I just got my party on all night long
And I wasn't thinkin' smart, a fool and his money is sure to part
'Cause I wasn't thinkin' smart, a fool and his money is sure to part

I took the buyout, I took the buyout (I took the buyout)
I took the buyout, I took the buyout (I took the buyout)

I spent my money in about five months, I musta smoked a thousand blunts
I'm unemployed and paranoid, stay out my way, you best avoid
A conversation, a confrontation, you ask me about my occupation
I was playin' Guitar Hero, I thought I would rock the nation
Ever since this situation, I've been feelin' really stressed
My lease is up, increases up, and all my things got repossessed

(Now I cry out) I took the buyout (Why? Why?)
I took the buyout (shoulda never took that money)
