Life ain't fair I'm telling you
There's so much more that I could do
But I just sit around here and complain
I gotta work until 2 AM
I always get caught in the rain
The southern train is running late again
Life is running smooth for you
Your hair is made your boots are new
You're no good but you are on TV
I am held back by my fears
Some days I wanna disappear
And no one really cares about me
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Why you get to reap when I have to sow
The answer's written in the stars all covered under snow
Yesterday he came to me
He told me how he felt so free
And I stuck that in my pipe and smoked it up
He's a beast and I'm his prey
He ruined my life and now my day
Just when I thought things were looking up
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Why you get to fly when I have to blow
The answer's written in the stars all covered under snow
It's funny how the little world inside my head is so absurd
How every little thing can grow so big
Cause when I look upon myself from up above from on a shelf
There are so many things I can dig
Life ain't fair I'm telling you
There's so much more that I can do
But I just sit around here and complain
If I stopped humming martyr blues
And walked a mile in someones shoes
I'd realize that we are all the same
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Why it's hard to sing but easier to moan
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Why it's hard to get but easy to want
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Why it's hard to do but easy to don't
