Sometimes you struggle against the odds
Sometimes the odds, they are against you
Sometimes you feel like you just can't win
Because the world seems immense to you
Sometimes you get broken and you can't be fixed
And nothing, no nothing makes sense to you
And it's like digging Saint Patrick's Well
Sometimes you're down as you can get
So down there is no below
Sometimes you get crippled by someone's cruelty
You just lie there and take the blow
Sometimes you get hoisted on your own petard
No one to blame but your own ego
Sometimes you get walloped in your own backyard
Like a hurricane came to call
Sometimes you shut down when it's all too much
Don't wanna feel nothing, nothing at all
But sometimes you win when you least expect
It's someone else who takes the fall
