Absurd

What's there to be done With a lyric, a pen and guitar like a gun And bills to be payed? Is there a point to be made? It's a fool's pursuit in the first place Can you look yourself in the face And say you tried? Can you say you survived? Can you say anything without sounding contrived? Oh, where do you go? You can't even go on the dole There's only one thing I know That everybody struggles in this old world I will live and I die in compromise, the things I buy, the tears I cry I can't deny like passing time, I'll live and die an absurd Li-i-i-fe Li-i-i-fe Li-i-i-fe Li-i-i-fe These grand principles Cheaply bought and expensively sold What's your t-shirt say? "¡Hasta la victoria siempre!" It's not enough to say the right things And no one always does the right thing We have to commit to learning from our mistakes And try and do better for all of our sakes but But what do you do? I've gotta work and you do, too Gets you tired and blue To be choosing between rent or food and Where do you go? Can't even go on the dole Only one thing I know That everybody struggles in this old world I will live and die in compromise, the things I buy, the tears I cry I can't deny like passing time, I'll live and die an absurd Li-i-i-fe Li-i-i-fe Li-i-i-fe Li-i-i-fe La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la
