The good days are melting The icecaps are gone The popstar's in heaven The right turned to wrong And it's a steep slope, it's a hell no It's a hangup on the telephone, you see? That it's a one day, it's a survey It's a cluster-fuck on the freeway, you see? The odds are against me But I try to take the world in my hands Change what they say I can't understand I try and I try Just to prove 'em all wrong But my arms ain't that strong Goddamn Thought that I'd be the one Thought that I'd be the one The kids are the parents The schools are a war zone Hallways are empty We're all running with nowhere to go And it's a high risk, it's a bad gig When you're a small fish on a long swim upstream, oh yeah And it's a ten-page stupid survey It's the red tape in the doorway, you see? The odds are against me But I try to take the world in my hands Change what they say I can't understand I try and I try Just to prove 'em all wrong But my arms ain't that strong Goddamn Thought that I'd be the one Thought that I'd be the one Thought that I'd be the one Thought that I'd be the one Tell me we're not letting go Losing time and losing hope Oh, there's so much I still don't know I, I, I But I try to take the world in my hands Change what they say I can't understand I try and I try Just to prove 'em all wrong But my arms ain't that strong Goddamn Thought that I'd be the one Thought that I'd be the one (oh yeah) Thought that I'd be the one Thought that I'd be the one (oh yeah) The good days are melting The icecaps are gone
