Living In a Movie

Forgot my alarm;

I overslept again

Had to shave in a hurry, almost cut off my chin

Slipped in the bathtub.

I think I broke

I my neck

My car's out of gas,

I forgot to check

Going nowhere fast

What the heck!

Sometimes it feels like

I'm living in a movie

Acting out a story that's not my own

There's drama and action - and random acts of tragedy

I don't want to be in this starring role

I got to work late - my boss chewed me out

Called me "irresponsible"; cleaned out my desk

Stopped by the hospice said bye to a friend

Found out

I had cancer, only six months to live

What's the joke?

I give! Sometimes it feels like

I'm living in a movie

Acting out a story that's not my own

There's drama and action - and random acts of tragedy

I don't want to be in this starring role

I can't believe it

Bad things are always happening to me

Serenity; achieve it

Maybe it's not as bad as it seems

Pulled over for speeding,

I wasn't in the mood

Got sprayed with mace; had a bad attitude

Talked to my wife, she'd understand

Said she was leaving, found another man

How can this be?

I don't understand!

Sometimes it feels like

I'm living in a movie

Acting out a story that's not my own

There's drama and action - and random acts of tragedy

I don't want to be in this starring role
