lyrics

You say that life's about the give and take
Well I say it's about the thrill
I've got an over-abundance of a controlled substance
And plenty of time to kill

When I find myself in misery
I take a hit or two or three
Until I'm falling sideways down a neon highway
Under a black light sky

It won't take much persuasion
To convince me the nation is doomed
If this hard-headed man with his sinister plan
Gets a position of power to assume

This country has an affinity
For profound stupidity
Just put me under sedation
Till the situation is o-o-o-over

CHORUS:
Every day's a lesson in survival
Every night I'd just as soon forget
Walking the line between triumph and failure
One minute I'm unstoppable, the next I wish I was dead

Perhaps I'm sick in the head
