lyrics

Seems like only years ago, I came into this land of ours, and now I know I know I know, I never wanted to belong. And everything is going down, this world is sinking we'll all drown, and there's the boat it's leaving, hope you've something to believe in.
And I never knew the reason everything was make believe, with all the world and all its players on the stage who's the director? In the end we'll all be gone, so what's it matter if I'm wrong, at least I’m trying hard to say this, all you care is what's for breakfast.
When I'm down I don't ever get up. I just stay on the ground.
When I'm down I don't ever get up. I just stay on the ground.
Everything you want to say, everything you want to hear, I'm not gonna say it, I'm not going to be the one to make you happier with who you are, your two fat kids, your smoking car, your failing way of life, your failing bladder and eyesight. Here's what it comes down to, guess I just don't really like you, everything you do offends me, every time I see your face I wish I was far away; far away; far away.
And I know I've only been here so long, but I know it all, I know it all.
And I know I've only been here so long, but I know it all, I know it all.
And I know I told you I was the one, but I was wrong, but I was wrong.
And I know I told you I was the one, but I was wrong, but I was wrong.
Coming down off the top of the world, the day is done, your song is sung. Coming down off the top of the world, leave the light. Bring the night.
