[Verse 1]
Some people say, "It’s all in your head"
The way you’re afraid that soon you’ll be dead
Some people laugh at all your neurosis
Tell you to smile, "Start smelling the roses"
[Refrain]
Day by day
Day by day
Just take it
Day by day, yeah
Day by day
[Verse 2]
We’re all gonna die as I’m sure you’re aware
And some people cope by saying a prayer
And some people cope, putting keys up their noses
And some people cope by smelling the roses
[Bridge]
But smelling the roses won’t change nothing
All I can tell is the world is rotting
[Chorus]
Day by day
Day by day
Just take it
Day by day, yeah
Day by day
