Illegtim Non Carborundum

It’s hard getting up in the morning
And It’s hard to get to sleep at night
When anxiety can attack without warning
And you never know when it will strike

And up in the tops of their towers
There are snipers with you in their sights
With their fingers on the triggers
They can pull them anytime

But you can’t
No you can’t
No you can’t
No you can’t
You can’t let the bastards get you down

And it’s hard to go into work
When you don’t love your job
And it’s hard to smile at the jerks
You wish you could tell to fuck off

And it’s easy to spend your paycheck
When you make so much less than your boss
And you work so much harder than they do
It seems like they don’t work much at all

But you can’t
No you can’t
No you can’t
No you can’t
You can’t let the bastards get you down

And it’s hard to have fun when you come home
When you feel so alone
Even though you are connected
To the whole world through your phone

And it’s hard not to turn on the TV
And it’s hard not to reach for a drink
And it’s hard to go to bed before the sun comes up
When you’re so afraid of your dreams

But you can’t
No you can’t
No you can’t
No you can’t
You can’t let the bastards get you down
