Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up again to my chagrin
Gettin' sick and tired of feelin' sick and tired again
I tried to write 'cause I got the right
You make it look as if I'm doin' something with my life
[Verse 2]
Gotta find a vein, it's always the same
Have a drink to ease the panic and the sufferin'
I woke up again, dreamt of Gunga Din
[Verse 3]
Oh, the road is long if you stay strong
You're a better man than I
You've been beaten and flayed, probably betrayed
You're a better man than I
[Verse 4]
Woke up again to my evil twin
The mirror's fucking ugly and I'm sick and tired of lookin' at him
Been up all night, I'll probably pick a fight
'Cause I can't help it, I'm a bastard in the morning
[Verse 5]
So I try to write, I think I have the right
A little drinky now and then to help me just to see the light
Just another day, it feels like nothing's changed
Oh, fuck it, oh, here I go again
[Verse 6]
Oh, the road is long if you stay strong
You're a better man than I
You've been beaten and flayed, probably betrayed
You're a better man than I
[Verse 7]
What's the point in you now?
I can't chase you nohow
Oh, leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight from Sunday booze
[Verse 8]
Oh, the road is long if you stay strong
You're a better man than I
You've been beaten and flayed, probably betrayed
You're a better man than I
[Verse 9]
Oh, what you doin', you stupid fucking idiot?
Wake up, hey
