  • Nobody knows
    Why we keep tryin'
    Why we keep tryin'
    And so on it goes
    I'm lookin' forward to the next
    Letter that I'm gonna get from you

    A baby is born
    As a man lay dyin'
    As a man lay dyin'
    And so on it goes
    I'm lookin' forward to the next
    Letter that I'm gonna get from you

    Sit beside me, watch the world burn
    We'll never learn we don't deserve nice things
    And we'll scream self-righteously
    We did our best, but what does that really mean?

    I'm walkin' around, walkin' around
    With my head down, my head down
    And I'm pushin' away, pushin' away
    Yeah, I'm pushin' away, pushin' away Writer/s: Courtney Barnett
