  • Life is hard
    And so am I
    You'd better give me something
    So I don't die
    Novocaine for the soul
    Before I sputter out
    Before I sputter out

    Life is white
    And I am black
    Jesus and his lawyer
    Are coming back
    Oh my darling
    Will you be here
    Before I sputter out [Repeat: x3]

    Guess who's living here with the great undead
    This paint by numbers life is fucking with my head, once again

    Life is good
    And I feel great
    'cause mother says I was
    A great mistake
    Novocaine for the soul
    You'd better give me something to fill the hole
    Before I sputter out [Repeat: x4] Writer/s: MARK GOLDENBERG, MARK O. EVERETT
