Lyrics

Livin' my life one mistake at a time, all keep adding up
Waiting tables for the last six years, man, my youth is wrappin' up
And now I'm staring down in a glass, for answers it won't give
Wonderin' why I live to work, when I know I should be working to live
So I get myself another drink, and I try to forget that I drink too much
'Cause if this is my lot in life, well, it'll just have to be enough

Because I'm settling for having my bills paid
That cigarette after a long day
And if it gets too hard I'll go, and close the bar
Run a tab up that'll be more than I made
Holding on to dreams I'm dreamin'
They are the only thing that's keeping me moving
And if when I awake I'm still a lowly slave
I'll be okay with this life I'm living, yeah
I'll be okay with this life I'm living, mm

Locked up, institutionalised, I'm labelled criminal of the state
An affliction of addiction, we all got one on our plate
Knocked up, car flipped, raided homes
Troubled souls are the only ones I know, and I-
Wouldn't take it any other way
I'm so sorry if you can't relate

Because I'm settling for having my bills paid
That cigarette after a long day
And if it gets too hard, I'll go and close the bar
Run a tab up that'll be more than I made
Holding on to dreams I'm dreamin'
They are the only thing that's keeping me moving
And if when I awake I'm still a lowly slave
I'll be okay with this life I'm living, yeah
I'll be okay with this life I'm living, hm
