Looks like there's no way out They tried to warn me about you They sowed the seeds of doubt but everything they said came true You'd think that I'd be worried, or show concern I lost count of all the times I've been burned But I don't ever bother It's just not worth my time 'cause there's no getting through to you You just keep drifting farther it's much too steep to climb There's nothing left that I can do The walls are closin' in My patience is growin' thin with you No way that I could win The fix was in before I ever knew
4.
I've had enough of this stinkin world Won't even look at the news no more Cause every time that I turn around Somebodies slammin the door Try to be tough but it ain't easy Getting kicked when you're down on the floor Sometimes it seems that everyone that I see Is rotten to the core Life isn't fair, had to fight for my share the way you scream around makes me sick I'm sittin there in my electric chair just waitin for the jolt to kick So many mountains of misery Just wanna walk the other way I know it's them and it isn't me No empty words left to say You gotta really big chip on your shoulder Pullin' every card you can play You think the world has done you wrong for so long Looks like you wasted every single day
5.
When the sun goes down and there ain't no one around I go walking on the streets Tryin' to find a reason for all of this madness I feel so low like there's nowhere left to go I can barely stand on my two feet There's no end to the sadness Why am I awake? I close my eyes, but I just cant rest My brain feels like an unwelcome guest I can't clear my head There's a monster underneath my bed Why am I awake? Don't wanna look at the alarm clock light Looks like another sleepless night Feels like I'm half dead Haunted by the words you said I can't clear my head There's a monster underneath my bed Why am I awake?
6.
Ain't nobody gonna ruin my high It don't matter how hard that they try I'll still be going while they're throwing their shade Ain't nobody gonna rain on my parade
7.
Yeah, it's another screwed up day No, I don't really want to stay Just wanna go somewhere that's about a million miles away But I'm so tired, I can't move I tried, but I can't find the groove I can't relate to what you're talkin' 'bout Everything is inside out Can't find the off switch 'round here anywhere Somebody better pull the plug I used to, but now I don't care Just sweep it all under the rug When I wander 'round the town nobody even knows my name They greet me with a freakin' frown 'cause nothin' ever stays the same Wrong is right, and right is wrong One of these things doesn't belong Day is night, and night is day It doesn't matter what you say Can't find the off switch 'round here anywhere Somebody better pull the plug I used to, but now I don't care Just sweep it all under the rug
8.
I thought about you every day since you’ve been gone And I’m havin’ some trouble tryin’ to move on I know that it’s over, but still, it’s so hard to see reality Oh, I don’t wanna be alone in this world without you, girl Nothing’s what it used to be I’ve made some mistakes, but God only knows Just how hard I tried though all of the lows Oh, I was so blind, I couldn’t see So many things I could’ve done differently Oh, I don’t wanna be alone in this world without you, girl Nothing’s what it used to be Oooooooo, I wish I had the magic words to say Oooooooo, the one’s that’d make you come back and stay I dream about you every night, but every morning I cry ‘Cause livin’ without your love just makes me wanna die I keep pretending you’re here with me But I know I’ll never be free Oh, I don’t wanna be alone in this world without you, girl Nothing’s what it used to be Oh, I don’t wanna be alone in this world without you, girl Nothing’s what it used to be Oh, I don’t wanna be alone in this world without you, girl Nothing’s what it used to be
9.
There's nothing in my mind I'm drawing a blank There's nothing here to find There's no one I can thank Feeling deaf and blind There's nowhere left to go I'm being left behind Nobody likes an "I told you so" Take off your coat and stay awhile Don't touch that dial The reception looks a little fuzzy Gotta adjust the rabbit ears The same show's on every channel It's been that way for 40 years The volume's too low but I can't find the clicker Time goes slow Can we make it a little bit quicker? I know a place where the sun always shines Where the breeze always blows, and the weather's fine Everyone waves and says hello The grass is green and the flowers grow Where the flowers grow Hold my hand, I'll take you there Hold my hand, I'll take you there Hold my hand, I'll take you there.......

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

I've done all I can, but it's never enough I show you my hand, then you call my bluff and say that's just tough I gave you my heart, but you treated it rough I played my part, I did all the right stuff but still, you left in a huff Looks like I can't win I'm damned either way No matter what I do No matter what I say I waited so long, but you never came I tried to be strong, I took all the blame but it all stays the same I tried to bend, but to you it's a game The love that I send, it's always so lame Seems such a shame Looks like I can't win I'm damned either way No matter what I do No matter what I say I'm damned either way...

Feelin’ kinda hard just getting’ outta bed Buck tooth Jesus, I feel half dead My mind is empty and my brain goes slow My battery pack is getting’ kinda low I’ve got no soul to save And I’ve got one foot in the grave But the world’s grown so weird and cold I’m kinda glad that I’m old Where’s my newspaper? Get offa my lawn! By the time I count to three you goddamn kids better be gone Pull your pants up Stop bein’ a slob A lotta less twerkin’ and a little more workin’ Get a goddamn job! When I was a kid, we’d walk fifty miles through five feet of snow Goin’ to school with a smile And we didn’t complain But the world’s grown so weird and cold I’m kinda glad that I’m old Oh, take me We’re all goin’ to hell in a handbag We’re on a runaway train The goal posts are movin’ The fact checks are provin’ the fool with the foil hat seems sane Resistance is futile You’ve all been bought and sold Get back in line And do as you’re told There’s nothin’ left here that I need to see You’re all turds of misery Yeah, the world’s grown so weird and cold I’m kinda glad that I’m old I’m kinda glad that I’m old I’m kinda glad that I’m old I’m kinda glad that I’m old

Better fasten your seat belts The road’s gonna get kinda rough and bumpy ahead Take all the proper precautions Don’t wanna be the wanker who goes and turns up dead Pray to God to save your soul No, there’s no time to cry Put your head between your legs And kiss your ass goodbye Get your affairs in order Cross your T’s, dot your I’s, and get all of your ducks in a row Time flies when you’re havin’ fun Last call, I’m sorry, but it’s time to go Pray to God to save your soul No, there’s no time to cry Put your head between your legs And kiss your ass goodbye Better fasten your seat belts The road’s gonna get kinda rough and bumpy ahead Take all the proper precautions Don’t wanna be the wanker who goes and turns up dead

Been head over heels Been spinnin’ my wheels but it’s startin’ to look like I’m stuck in the mud Guess I never told you how I wanna hold you This whole thing’s been one spectacular dud I’ve been waiting for so long Singing the same song How could I be so wrong? Ooooo, I just can’t get over you No one can do the things you do I guess you’re too good to be true And I’m just someone that you never knew Still I’m hopin’ that I’ll find a way And I’m hopin’ that you will be mine someday Am I wastin’ my time? Am I totally blind? I can’t help it if I follow my heart From the moment I saw you Yeah, I did adore you Oh, I was hooked on you right from the start I’ve been waiting for so long Singing the same song Oh, how could I be so wrong? Ooooo, I just can’t get over you No one can do the things you do I guess you’re too good to be true And I’m just someone that you never knew Oh, I just can’t get over you No one can do the things you do I guess you’re too good to be true And I’m just someone that you never knew Still I’m hopin’ that I’ll find a way I’m hopin’ that you will be mine someday

It was fun while it lasted but now time's runnin' out All good things must come to an end Oh, there's no doubt Feels like it went by just like that My, how the time has passed I turned around and it was gone I guess it couldn't last, it went too fast Wave goodbye, there goes the summer Time for the beat of a different drummer Oh, the wind blows so cold No, I can't feel my feet And frozen fingers can't hold The shovel to push the sleet It was fun while it lasted but now time's runnin' out All good things must come to an end Oh, there's no doubt Wave goodbye, there goes the summer Time for the beat of a different drummer Wave goodbye, there goes the summer Goodbye
17.
When the sun won’t shine And the wind begins to blow I’ll miss the summer Where did the time all go? Please stay for one more day No, don’t freeze me, no don’t you freeze me Why can’t you stay? When old man winter rears his ugly head It’s hard to feel alive when everything is dead I wanna hibernate and just stay in my bed The only thing I feel is dread

I guess you thought I'd wait forever while you were runnin' 'round the town I'm sure you thought you were so clever every time you dragged me down You tell me that you deserve better while you sneak behind my back Oh, girl you're really a go-getter But the train is comin' off the track I can't go on anymore this way I can't waste one more day I can't keep tellin' myself everything's OK Hey Yeah, I guess that I don't care And I don't wonder where you are anymore You swore this day would never come As it stares you in the face In hindsight now, you feel so dumb Hey, welcome to the human race I can't go on anymore this way I can't waste one more day I can't keep tellin' myself everything's OK Hey Yeah, I guess that I don't care And I don't wonder where you are anymore Yeah, I guess that I don't care And I don't wonder where you are anymore

So much stupid in the world today They must've put something in the water That's all I could say Hey, how much more you gonna pay? How long you gonna look the other way? And what's worth fighting for when there's nothing to save anymore? I can't tell what's right from wrong when you change it every day I hear the politicians' same old song I'm so sick of gettin' played I'm demonized and marginalized Manipulated, cursed and hated I gave everything I could But it's never enough for the greater good Hey, how much more you gonna pay? How long you gonna look the other way? And what's worth fighting for when there's nothing to save anymore? There's no shortage of stupid in the world today They must've put something in the water That's all I could say So take a big swig of that KoolAid (oooo yeah) and all of your dreams will come true You'll get exactly what you asked for Then you'll wake up in a cage in a zoo Hey, how much more you gonna pay? How long you gonna look the other way? And what's worth fighting for when there's nothing to save anymore? Oh, there's nothing to save anymore No, there's nothing to save anymore
