Five a Day - Numberjacks

Another day in my life I live and die by the knife I swear there's nothing inside Sometimes I wish it would end How many hands could I shake How many smiles must I fake How many miles till I break To start all over again That's not what I was promised That's not me Feels like I'm falling away Getting deeper and deeper everyday Like nothing has changed or ever will Seems like I'm going insane Getting farther and farther everyday I just swallow the pain And always will Welcome to a day in my life Welcome to a day in my fucking life! Unleashed the beast from its cage Feel like a puppet on stage It only adds to the rage I'm sick of trying to pretend They think I'm something I'm not I give them all that I got Feels like I'm sold to be bought It starts all over again That's not what I was promised That's not me Feels like I'm falling away Getting deeper and deeper everyday And like nothing has changed or ever will Seems like I'm going insane Getting farther and farther everyday I just swallow the pain And always will Welcome to a day in my life Welcome to a day in my fucking life! It feels like I'm falling away I'm getting deeper and deeper everyday And like nothing has changed or ever will Seems like I'm going insane Getting farther and farther everyday I just swallow the pain And always will I just swallow the pain And always will Welcome to a day in my life Welcome to a day in my fucking life!

You gotta watch for the shot Beware the ricochet Dance, dance, motherfucker 'Til the fat bitch sings Gettin' one for the chamber Two for good health Know a little 'bout evil and a lot about hell Playin' ring around the daisies with a shotgun shell If you're gonna take a life, better keep it to yourself Seems every time I think, there's just a little bit of hope Someone comes out swingin' with a dead man's rope Damned if I do Damned if I don't Damned if I will Damned if I won't Doomed if I try Doomed if I fail Damn you all to hell I'm no angel, I'm no savior, and I've never been a saint Well, I know I'm not the devil, 'cause I still can feel the pain I walked through fire and through brimstone And there were no pearly gates I'll be sure to ask about it on my final judgment day Judgment day Two tears in a bucket One down the drain Dance, dance, motherfucker 'Til the war drums play I know a little 'bout death, a lot about pain And I ain't ever seen a storm that don't end in rain Gotta pay the Pied Piper, every dog'll have his cage Don't stress the mess, 'cause it's all so cliché You can run around in circles, but it always ends the same You'll be swingin' from the end of a dead man's chain Doomed if I do Doomed if I don't Doomed if I will Doomed if I won't Damned if I try Damned if I fail God damn you all to hell I'm no angel, I'm no savior, and I've never been a saint Well, I know I'm not the devil, 'cause I still can feel the pain I walked through fire and through brimstone And there were no pearly gates I'll be sure to ask about it on my final judgment day Judgment day My final judgment day Watch for the shot Watch for the shot, motherfucker Watch for the shot (ricochet) Watch for the shot I'm no angel, I'm no savior, and I've never been a saint Well, I know I'm not the devil, 'cause I still can feel the pain I walked through fire and through brimstone And there were no pearly gates I'll be sure to ask about it on my final judgment day In my final resting place, when I finally found my grave I'll be sure to ask about it on my final judgment day My final judgment day My final judgment day My final judgment day My final judgment day
