Livin' my life one mistake at a time, all keep adding up

Waiting tables for the last six years, man, my youth is wrappin' up

And now I'm staring down in a glass, for answers it won't give

Wonderin' why I live to work, when I know I should be working to live

So I get myself another drink, and I try to forget that I drink too much

'Cause if this is my lot in life, well, it'll just have to be enough

Because I'm settling for having my bills paid

That cigarette after a long day

And if it gets too hard I'll go, and close the bar

Run a tab up that'll be more than I made

Holding on to dreams I'm dreamin'

They are the only thing that's keeping me moving

And if when I awake I'm still a lowly slave

I'll be okay with this life I'm living, yeah

I'll be okay with this life I'm living, mm

Locked up, institutionalised, I'm labelled criminal of the state

An affliction of addiction, we all got one on our plate

Knocked up, car flipped, raided homes

Troubled souls are the only ones I know, and I-

Wouldn't take it any other way

I'm so sorry if you can't relate

Because I'm settling for having my bills paid

That cigarette after a long day

And if it gets too hard, I'll go and close the bar

Run a tab up that'll be more than I made

Holding on to dreams I'm dreamin'

They are the only thing that's keeping me moving

And if when I awake I'm still a lowly slave

I'll be okay with this life I'm living, yeah

I'll be okay with this life I'm living, hm
