Damage Control

(Curtis Salgado, Mike Finnigan & Ryan Waters, Odaglas Music, ASCAP/Irish Stew Music, BMI)

Another day just beginning

Another day that will soon end

And all that takes place in between

Is what you call this life, my friend

We never asked to be here, oh no

We didn't have a choice

Nobody asked our opinion

‘Cause we didn't have no voice

Just trying to carry on

And take it easy

Slow your breathing

Keep your head up

Stay down low

And deal with this damage control

They say we‘re flirting with disaster

So say the news and their talking heads

That's everyday operating procedure

Let’s call it what it really is instead

Never asked for special treatment

And hardly ever step out of line

Now it’s kid gloves on and bite your tongue

And think before you speak your mind

So just trying to carry on

Take it easy

Slow your breathing, yeah

Oh, keep your head up

Stay down low

And deal with this damage control

Sometimes I think it’s all a big mistake

Someone upstairs just fell asleep

I don't know about any of that

But I know, I know, I know

It wasn't up to me

So many questions, the cosmic design

The professors and the doctors

And the next Einstein

They’ll never find the answer

‘Cause they don’t know

So I’ll just try to carry on

And do my damage control

I never asked to be here, oh no

I didn’t have no choice

Just along for the ride

Yeah, don’t you know

Try to stay out of trouble, yeah

Just trying to carry on, carry on

And deal with this damage control
