lyrics

Facing the world sober is not an easy task
But if I don't give it my all I'm just weaker than the rest
This whole world is making plans to leave you all behind
But you can't let that determine how you waste all of your time

So take your pain, take your shame, take your angst and all your woe
Wear them gladly on your sleeve and show them off to one's you love
So all you need to do is only you and never doubt
Yourself and your ambitions and fuck who say it ain't allowed

If I was ever born again I wanna be a New York bird
Shit on all the nay-sayers as they go traveling in the herd
Off to big tall phallic ziggurats where they pray to God for their fears
Hoping for some reassurance they won't see for 40 years

But I guess I shouldn't yet, cause I'm living just like them
Going day to day and check by check, splitting weeks from the weekends
I just need to convince myself to get off my lazy ass
And do something with my life so long as I have life to last

Started smoking cause of all the stress
Now I'm not at my very best
But you won't catch me crying
Started drinking cause I had the blues
But they don't know it's about you
Can't you see why I'm dying?

The drink and the smoke
Were just methods to cope
But just one thing was wrong all along
You won't find me there
Right by your side
That's what you get when you left me high and dry

(Woo-hoo)

Can't wait on no superman to lift this heavy load
We got things to see we got folks to meet we got shit we need to know
So if we work together we can bear this burden yet
The definition of progress is that one measly step

And our bodies will be sweating and our faces will be red
But we will see the progress in the faces of our children
And as we lay upon our beds, waiting for to die
We can go with a smile knowing we fought the good fight
