Late one day as you're sitting awake 

How can you sleep with those pills you take? 

Rubs your eyes and miss your head 

All you have is meat and you're a vegetarian 

Put in your key and your car won't start 

Your wife just left you and she took the sports car 

All alone and it's one of those days 

Oh my god you found out your neighbor's gay 



Better days that you had 

And you blame it on fate 

You've got a bitter feeling in the back of your head 

And concentration's asleep 

How do you do the things you do 

And go on living your life? 

You beat your kids all the time 

And you constantly yell at your wife 



You're at work and you lost your check 

And the only secretary has lost her head 

More ideas wasted over the months 

Now a fire's consumed your home 

It's all right, you've got your pride 

But if I were you I would rather die 

It's all right, you've got your work 

But if I were you I'd start going to church 



Better days that you had 

And you blame it on fate 

You've got a bitter feeling in the back of your head 

And concentration's asleep 

How do you do the things you do 

And go on living your life? 

You beat your kids all the time 

And you constantly yell at your wife
