Hey, asshole 
See the sun is shining 
But you are not smiling 
And I don't know why 
And I don't know why 
And I don't know why 

I'm an asshole 
Cause the sun is shining 
But I am not smiling 
And I don't know why 
And I don't know why 
And I don't know why 

I know I'm often told 
That there's a pot of gold 
But I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold 
I know I should be grateful 
I know I'm good and able 
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table 
This kind of shot comes once 
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away 
And that's the fifth this month 
but when you take a punch 
Don't you ever forget 
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next 

Got the power of my will 
I don't needa to win a mil 
But I'm looking at window sill 
Gotta take a bitter pill 
Gonna pay for what I did to my head and my heart'll foot the bill 
Got a foot in my mouth and because I'm kicking myself I developed 
A habit of knocking out my front tooth 
Looking uncouth 
want to hear the truth 
Give it to me straight 
151 proof 
Telling myself it'll happen when I'm happy 
But I'm climbing up a ladder that has got no end 
Hung up on a rung I'll never make it to the top 
I'm looking at the bottom and I must descend 
All I want to do is buck this trend 
Everybody need a buck to spend 
And I'll be working on myself, til I work on someone else 
Til I get there Ima just pretend 

I know I'm often told 
That there's a pot of gold 
But I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold 
I know I should be grateful 
I know I'm good and able 
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table 
This kind of shot comes once 
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away 
And that's the fifth this month 
but when you take a punch 
Don't you ever forget 
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next

When I'm in a crisis 
In a moment of silence 
I look under my eyelids 
And I'm checking my mileage 
I been using a pool of water as a mirror but not for style it's 
So I can reach in and pimpslap my reflection for acting childish 
Spent a half an hour sitting at the bottom of my shower 
letting the water run over my body and (dammit I wanted to get up) 
But I didn't have the power 
I don't have the answer anyway yay (yay yay yay) 
Don't want to panic but I got to come clean 
because the plan of the planet is just mean 
Knew if was tough, but dammit it's obscene 
I been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit 
And I'ma rough it if I have enough steam 
I'll keep on coming and coming until I'm coming with the stamina of a salmon 
Who's heading upstream nah nah nah nah nah
