If I could find a way to change today

the way I sing and how I play

I couldn't change a goddamn thing 

If I can't change a broken string

frustration gets the best of me

vehemence will not let me be

relaxed and gentle when I'm playing

while the metal is decaying 



I go to so many shows my ears are always ringing

and if I go deaf then I won't have to hear my lousy singing

and if things are going my way

it doesn't mean a thing 

'cause tomorrow I could have another broken string 



Well I don't know how to solve my problem

so many times I've felt so dumb

seems like it's a total flop

when all the action has to stop

Ean sighs the punks just stare

Josh runs his fingers through his hair

get so tense my hands are shaking

I can't afford all the strings I'm breaking
