One

The good days are melting

The icecaps are gone

The popstars in heaven

The right turned to wrong

It's a steep slope

It's a hell no

It's a hang-up

On the telephone, you see?

That it's a one day

It's a survey

It's a cluster****

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 warzone

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 up stream (Oh, yeah)

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...

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

The good days are melting

The icecaps are gone
