[Verse 1]
Mmm... I wish
I could write the most perfect lyric
So I could sing and you could hear it
Or am I destined to be silenced by these walls
That make me quiet here?
[Verse 2]
I guess
I'll just lay my head to rest
And I'll toss and turn
Until I'm numb and it don't hurt
And I'll just drift off to a dream / Oooh...
Never really knowing what it means / Oooh...
[Pre-Chorus]
Are we damned?
[Chorus]
'Cause life's not fair
Now is it, son?
'Cause you can't care
For everyone
And we both know
It's no surprise
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
[Verse 3]
In my dreams
There were lots of men in suits and ties
And they seem to think
The words I sing were full of lies
They said that there was no such love
Unconditional for everyone
[Verse 4]
They sat there
Uncomfortably in their cushioned chairs
As they scratched their heads
And ran their fingers through grey hairs
To pass a piece of legislation / Oooh...
In the best interest of the nation / Oooh...
[Pre-Chorus]
Are we damned?
[Chorus]
'Cause life's not fair
Now is it, son?
'Cause you can't care
For everyone
And we both know
It's no surprise
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
[Bridge]
Oooh, you didn't see it coming, did ya?
Oooh, you didn't see it coming
Oooh, you didn't see it coming, did ya?
Oooh, you didn't see it coming
Did ya?
[Chorus]
'Cause life's not fair
Now is it, son?
'Cause you can't care
For everyone
And we both know
It's no surprise
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
[Outro]
Oooh, you didn't see it coming, did ya?
Oooh, you didn't see it coming
Oooh, you didn't see it coming, did ya?
Oooh, you didn't see it coming
