I took a pill and I was out
My doctor said I should lay down
But I got up too fast in a rush
My head is turning and turning around
I ran away a thousand times
To be a grown up must be fire
You have a house, a car and a wife
I have a guitar, 5 cents and a sigh

If I could then I would
But I can't so I won't
And my life goes on
And my life goes on

I never do the things I should
I stay in bed when others work
And when I watch my tv show
I wanna see I want to know
If I will ever make it out
Out of this hole I call my house
If I will ever be something more
Than a piece of meat with dreams and hopes

If I could then I would
But I can't so I won't
And my life goes on
And my life goes on
If I could then I would
But I can't so I won't
If my life goes on
And my life goes on
