I tie my shoes Listen to the morning news I wonder if I'm gonna win or lose or drown today The bills are stacked It feels like I could have a heart attack How am I ever gonna pull this back together Look at him He's living out his every dream He's peaceful like a flowing stream in the morning Yeah he's got it all worked out Makes me wonder what it's all about Am I ever gonna stand up proud and tall again How'd it ever come to this Every dream's a counterfeit Every single swing's a miss, and I can't look me in the eye I'm falling like a cannonball I'm gonna to lose it all I keep staring at the ground when the writing is on the wall God made man Oh what an evil plan Made me a player in a game that's damned to failier And so I close my eyes I tried to escape the noise Try to think about a better life worth chasing How'd it ever come to this Every dream's a counterfeit Every single swing's a miss, and I can't look me in the eye I'm falling like a cannonball I'm gonna to lose it all I keep staring at the ground when the writing is on the wall And so I tie my shoes Listen to the morning news Wonder if I'm gonna win or lose or drown today.
