Time and time again Lord I've been going through the motion It's a means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet Ain't no point getting outta bed when you ain't living the dream Like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream I don't need to change my strings Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die Well I've been waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my order Tell me all about the special today Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much bolder Hoping them circles on the paper don't call back telling me to start today That old man upstairs, He wears a crooked smile Staring down on the chaos he created He said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while Momma's gonna wash it all away And she thinks mercy's overrated
