No Guilt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Needed new posters, so I bought ’em
I know the cost of stamps now
The thirty-first is when I pay the phone bill
I told them I didn’t even know anybody in Toronto

Everyday at seven I’ve been watching Walter
I’ve been reading more and looking up the hard words
I met people who get me on the guest list
My parents said that they would help me
Pay for grad school

You know I, I never washed this sweater
I never knew when my hair was too long
I got the cab calls out of the Hi-Fi
I learned a lot since you’ve been gone
I’ve done a lot since you’ve been gone

[Chorus]
Not bitter – beat a vicious cycle
Typecast as the model couple
I’m sorry but I don’t feel awful
It wasn’t the end of the world
I’m sorry I can’t be helpless
It wasn’t the end of the world

[Verse 2]
I know someone who really met Belushi
I fixed the toilet so it doesn’t always run
I moved a chair over by the window
I feel better if my laundry’s done

Getting by on less sleep than I used to
I had no trouble in setting up a desk
I learned the reason for a three-pronged outlet
I got 100 on my driver’s test

I got a trick to get them to deliver
I called the landlord when the water turned brown
Did you know I own some valuable records?
I’ve learned a lot since you’ve been gone
I’ve done a lot since you’ve been gone

[Chorus]
Not mad – beat a vicious cycle
Typecast as the model couple
I’m sorry but I never got suicidal
It wasn’t the end of the world
I’m sorry I seem to be succeeding
It wasn’t the end of the world

Thank you for the chance to grow up
I’m sorry but I wasn’t defeated
It wasn’t the end of the world
I’m sorry but I don’t feel too awful
It wasn’t the end of the world

[Outro]
I’m really fine, everything’s great
I’m doing alright, really, really, everything’s fine
What, I’m doing alright, I’m doing alright, everything’s great
Sorry, but I’m fine
That’s it
