I kicked the shelf at the junkpile, one big crash 

Sluggo's collection of broken glass 

I said, everytime I take my shoes off 

Someone's gotta come along and try them on 

You know what I mean 

It could've been such a wonderful year 

I wonder what went wrong 



Help me back to last year, now that was something else 

Give me something to escape from besides myself 

Beside me, inside me 

Growl or scowl, I don't care 

I could sublet my future I'm not in the picture 

I'm not there 

It could've been such a wonderful picture 

I wonder what went wrong 



Someone stole my anger 

Someone stole my girl and left me with a cold shoulder 

Sluggo said, how can someone steal from you 

Something that you never owned? 

I said, yeah, it's a damn good trick 

I wonder how the hell they do it 

What do we own but ourselves, really 

And we spend all our time trying to give that away 

It could've been such a wonderful year 

But now it's just another day
