Life Is Bad

[Verse 1]
Waste away to nothin' in a dark, dusty tomb
Lookin' for the traces of what used to be a room
Wipe away the blood from a tormented brow
Solve the wicked problem never asking how

[Verse 2]
Rock the sinking vessel 'til it rests on the bottom
Count the waves of water, don't remember, forgot 'em
Taste the stench of livin' on thin dimes and a dream
Opening an ear to a painful, silent scream

[Chorus]
Oh, life is bad
Oh no, worst I ever had

[Verse 3]
Ache and writhe in agony like a vise on aging bones
Tar and acid drip from an ice cream cone
Holding onto a wind that chases the hell
Fallin' in the darkness of an inner-descending well

[Verse 4]
Caress transparent night as a demon with a sword
Speak with an eloquence, never saying a word
Look into the clarity, then erase it with the muck
Lying in a pool of consciousness, no such thing as luck

[Chorus]
Oh, life is bad
Oh no, worst I ever had

[Verse 5]
To being a beginner, to inventing the end
To livin' with a strangler, never a friend
Saddle slobbering beast trouble is abound
Ride the devil's bronco, never hit the ground

[Chorus]
Oh, life is bad
Oh no, worst I ever had
Oh, life is bad
Oh no, worst I ever had

[Outro]
And then sometimes, man
You just gotta deal with the fact that life is bad
You gotta keep movin', you gotta keep goin'
It's not gonna change, you gotta change it
If you don't change it, nobody will
Oh, no
