Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life is hard
And so am I
You'd better give me something
So I don't die
Novocaine for the soul
[Verse 2]
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
[Verse 3]
Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Oh, my darling
Will you be here
[Verse 4]
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
[Verse 5]
Guess who's living here
With the great undead
This paint by numbers life
Is fucking with my head
Once again
[Verse 6]
Life is good
And I feel great
'Cause mother says I was
A great mistake
Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something
To fill the hole
[Verse 7]
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
