There just aint no reason for the way that I feel
The way that I feel, but Im feeling good
Lately things just aint been going quite like they should
Quite like they should, but I still feel good
Let me explain that I witnessed the end of the world
Like someone had hurled all the weight on me
I couldnt see from my funeral walk just what I needed
Just what I needed, but I couldnt see
I spent the last few weeks with a chip on my shoulder
I thought that I was alone with my tragedy (I couldnt take it)
But if I see myself like an actor in a play,
It makes me feel better; Im not the only one
Who doesnt get his way
