Shame, it's the
price you gotta pay
Cause if you're gonna feel it,
you might as well feel it all the way
Straight down through the skin,
through the muscle and the blood
Sometime the fireworks that you planned on,
they take a nose dive in the mud
So if you feel you've got to scream,

Simply because you feel you must
You sit down for a minute
too long
And the whole damn thing turns to rust
Like the withering grass
Under a restless sun
You go to your bed part,
and the burning's still undone
So if you gotta scream,
that's okay
Sometimes if you're lucky,
God'll give you another day
Yeah, when you ask what's
the sense in it
What's the point of anything
So much chaos and confusion
And the band can hardly swing
The sax man's reed is broken,
and the drummer's too drunk to sit
My line is out a few days,
I can't get nothing in
And if you gotta cry, that's okay
Let me tell you,
sometimes if you're lucky,
God'll give you another day,
God'll give you
another day.
If you're lucky, if you're lucky,
God will give you another day
If you're lucky
