lyrics

I was uncomfortably happy
I was uncomfortably miserable
Just when you think you can hack it
Another rock comes rolling down the hill

(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)

I wasn’t much of a soldier
Wasn’t any better as a diplomat
And now I think that I’m older
But I can hear a child trying to sing me back

Nothing’s gonna go your way
Nothings gonna stay the same
Nothing’s gonna go your way
Nothings gonna leave a trace

I was uncomfortably happy
I was uncomfortably miserable
Just when you think that you’re back in
Another rat comes running for the kill

I wanted one in a million
I just got a sentence and a bitter pill
And if you think you won’t take it
There’s a million people saying that you will

Nothing’s gonna go your way
Nothings gonna stay the same
Nothing’s gonna go your way
Nothings gonna leave a trace

But you gonna do it anyway?
Doesn’t really matter anyway

Nothing’s gonna go your way
Nothings gonna stay the same
Nothing’s gonna go your way
Nothings gonna leave a trace

(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
