Another Day

Shame
It’s the price you got to pay
Cause if your gonna’ feel it
You might as well feel it all the way

Straight down through the skin
Through the muscle and the blood
Sometimes the fireworks you planned on
Take a nose dive in the mud

So if you feel you’ve got to scream
It’s okay
Sometimes if you’re lucky
You’ll get another day

You push on, you push on, you push on
Simply because you feel you must
You sit down for a minute too long
And the whole damn thing turns to rust

It’s like the withering grass
Under a restless sun
You go to your bed parched
Your burden still undone

Well you ask what’s the sense of it
What’s the point of anything
So much chaos and confusion
And the band can hardly swing

The Saxman’s reed is broken
And the singers too drunk to sit
My lighter’s out of butane
I can’t get nothing lit

And if you’ve got to cry
Then that’s ok, let me tell you
Sometimes if you’re lucky
You’ll get another day
