  • Woke up again
    To my chagrin
    Getting sick and tired of
    Feeling sick and tired again
    I tried to write
    'Cause I got the right
    To make it look as if
    I'm doing something with my life
    Got to find a vein
    It's always the same
    And a drink to ease
    The panic and the suffering
    I woke up again
    Dreamt of Gunga Din

    Oh, the road is long
    If you stay strong
    You're a better man than I
    You've been beat and afraid
    Probably betrayed
    You're a better man than I

    Woke up again
    To my evil twin
    That mirror is fucking ugly and I'm
    Sick and tired of looking at him
    Been up all night
    I probably picked a fight
    'Cause I can't help it I'm
    A bastard in the morning
    So I try to write
    I think I have the right
    A little drink-y now and then
    To help me just to see the light
    Just another day
    And it feels like nothing's changed
    Oh fuck it
    Oh here I go again

    Oh, the road is long
    If you stay strong
    You're a better man than I
    You've been beat and afraid
    Probably betrayed
    You're a better man than I

    What's the point in you now
    I can't chase you know how
    Oh, leave me alone
    I've got those Monday blues
    Straight from Sunday blues

    Oh, the road is long
    If you stay strong
    You're a better man than I
    You've been beat and afraid
    Probably betrayed
    You're a better man than I

    La la-la la, la la-la la, la la-la la la
    La la-la la, la la-la la, la la-la la la

    Oh what are you doing, you stupid fucking idiot
    Wake up
