lyrics

A story i'm told, we get old,
Get started, this will all fly by
With the world on our back
How can we slack, work until we die
Move back, move back, get in front, get in front
Put your fingers up, grab your sky
I'm telling it straight yelling this
Stand up, look me in the eye
Well it's hard to think it's all that right

Can't sleep in the dark, nor stay awake
In the day, turn off, turn on, turn off the light
The cause of all my joy and all my pain
The same source it can't be right
Stop that, stop that, pick it up, pick it up
I can get myself half-way to happiness
We go out at night, wearing it, put it on
Show them your disguise
Well it's hard to think it's all that right
Catch me off sight
Couldn't seem to find a better fight

I won't see it, you won't beat it until its done
I won't see it, you won't beat it.

I played this game as a kid, now i'm sick of it
Was told things would be just fine.
Up-side-up right-side-down, what's the trick to this
Just get me home and tuck me in tight.
Flip back, flip back, grab a hold, grab a hold.
Put it on right, you're almost there.
I'll make my mistake, my own regrets.
Just tell me that you'll make it all worth-while
Well its hard to think it's all that right

Last time, left behind, once before
Thinking about how much more
With the world on our back, how can we slack
Work until we die
I'm telling it straight, yelling this, stand up
Look me in the eye

Well it's hard to think its all that right
Catch me off sight
Couldn't seem to find a better sight

I won't see it, you won't beat it until it's done
I won't see it, you won't beat it until it's done
I wont see it, you won't beat it until its done
I wont see it, you won't beat it.
'til it's
