Road to Joy (Companion Version)

[Verse 1]
The sun came up with no conclusion
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming
I’m wide awake, it’s morning

[Verse 2]
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses

[Chorus 1]
I read the body count out of the paper
And now it’s written all over my face
No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
Sometimes that’s just the most comfortable place

[Verse 3]
So I’m drinking, breathing, writing, singing
Everyday I'm on thе clock
My mind races with all my longings
But can't keep up with what I got

[Verse 4]
So I hope I don’t sound too ungrateful
What history gavе modern man
A telephone to talk to strangers
Machine guns and a camera lens

[Chorus 2]
So when you’re asked to fight a war that’s over nothing
You know It’s best to join the side that’s gonna win
And no one knows how all of this got started
But we’re gonna make them goddam certain how its gonna end
Yeah we will, yeah we will, yeah we will!

[Verse 5]
Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else’s voice
But failure’s always sounded better
Let's fuck it up kids, make some noise!

[Verse 1]
The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming
I’m wide awake, it’s morning
