The Elegant Solution

"It must be easy not to worry about anything"
"No actually, it takes a lot of work"
Euphemisms will not serve, but bartenders will
No respite, take some friendly advice

This is never gonna happen
Lets forget about it!
I need a favor...

Impossible to say, and difficult to care
I knew that's what you'd say
Don't you dare
There is nothing any of us has done
There is nothing any of us has done
That some saint hasn't done
Already!

Her eyes a hazy shade of crazy
You tried to decide if it was more attractive than your
Piece of mind
The road to the glamourous life is filled with
Cut hands, and black eyes

Impossible to say, and difficult to care
I knew that's what you'd say
Don't you dare your gossip, your complaints
The gambit's undone
There is nothing any of us has done
That some saint hasn't done
Already!

I got it and took it straight
Faith was a suckers road
I led you the gutter, the prison and the grave
Peddling it, again and again
Through the years with the promise of hope
And a better life to come
It never happened, did it?

Impossible to say, and difficult to care
I knew that's what you'd say
Don't you dare your gossip, your complaints
The gambit's undone
There is nothing any of us has done
That some saint hasn't done
Already!
