It's all I can do to get up in the mornin'
 And get through another day
 It's all I can do to just get off to work
 And not hurt anyone today

 It's all I can do to get by in this world
 There's so many dues to pay
 I used to believe I had so much to give
 But now all I have to say

 Is this is all I can do

 It's all I can do to come home at night
 And get myself undressed
 It's all I can do to sleep with the zombies
 and give my mind a rest

 I used to believe I could be anything
 And make it a big success
 My dreams got smaller and smaller until they were gone

 This is all I can do

 Oh God, why have you forsaken me?
 Please don't leave me now
 Please don't leave me now

 Oh God, why are you so far from me?
 Can you save me now?
 Can you save me now
 From this world of tears?

 It's all I can do to get up in the mornin'
 And get through another day
 It's all I can do to sell all my junk
 Pack up and leave L.A.

 There's no future that I can see here
 The dream has gone away
 Don't cry for me mother, don't shed a tear
 I'll probably be back someday

 And this is all I can do
