suddenly you realize
the calendar inside your head is running out of pages?
What do you do if you can see the odds are good you'll never
be the person you've been trying for for ages?
Is it luck?
Is it fate?
Is it something that you wait?
Like an overwhelming
plate of humble pie?
What do you do when everything you wanted
more than life itself is laughing at you calling
you a jerk?
What do you do?
You make it work.
What do you do when everything is happening but
everything is happening to everybody but
you?
All of the phonies, frauds and fakes are getting jobs
and get ting breaks and eating steaks
but nobody will touch you.
Are you wanted by the fat?
All you want to do is act,
and it's all you want to do until you die
Slashing away at the same old door,
your arms are tired, your fists are sore
The pa tience you've got
left is wearing thin
What do you do?
You kick it in
So what am
I? I'm stuck, struggling in the muck
Standing here all purple
and perplexed
Caught in the gap between what
the hell just happened
And what the hell is gonna
happen nex t?
What do you got?
You got that list of all the hopes
and dreams I've missed?
Well, take that list and roll it in a ball!
Or better yet, a tube!
You're gonna need some lube!
Cause where is it gonna go?
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And I'm sad at what I see
Frustration, confusion,
I come to the conclusion
There really must be something wrong with
All of those douchebags
who won't hire me
What do you do?
It's nature's law
The card you dealt, the card you draw
Perhaps the hand you
got will never win
Maybe you're out of rope,
maybe you're out of hope
So what do you do?
You go all in
Well, I'm all ears!
