Can you pull the car over? I need to slow down Get some words lined up and see how they sound We just keep spinnin' and everyone's hurt Both of us talking but no one feels heard I know you never wanna get me down But it's a steep road I'm walkin' on You know I never wanna get you down But it's a bit late, now It's hard to be human and hard to grow up I just keep trying and keep messin' up And maybe I'm learnin' and findin' my way But how could I feel this and still be okay? I'm sittin' here, starin' at the gutter Wonderin' why I feel sorry for myself If we keep hurtin' one another starts to color How we're doin' it to ourselves I know you never wanna get me down But it's a steep road I'm walkin' on You know I never wanna get you down But it's a bit late, now

I got rice cooking in the microwave Got a three-day beard I don't plan to shave It's a goofy thing but I just gotta say "Hey, I'm doing alright" I think I'll make me some homemade soup Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth, yeah It's neither drink or drug induced No, I'm just doin' alright And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good? It's been 15 years since I left home And said good luck to every seed I'd sown Gave it my best and then I left it alone Oh, I hope they're doin' alright Look in the mirror and what do I see? A lone wolf there starin' back at me, yeah Long in the tooth but harmless as can be Lord, I hope he's doin' alright And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good? Sometimes it's lonely Sometimes it's only me And the shadows that fill this room Sometimes I'm fallin' Desperately callin' Howlin' at the moon, ah-ooh Woo Might go get me a new tattoo Take my old Jeep for a three-day cruise Might even grow me a Fu Manchu And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's hard times in the neighborhood Why can't every day be just this good? It's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good? Ah-ooh Ah-ooh, yeah Hey Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah

I hardly think I'm qualified To come across all sanctified I just don't cut it with the cherubim (Tulio, what are you talking about?) Oww! There again they're on their knees Being worshipped is a breeze Which rather suits us in the interim The interim, the interim That's me and them Oh my god It's tough to be a god Tread where mortals have not trod Be deified when really you're a sham Be an object of devotion Be the subject of psalms It's a rather touching notion All those prayers and those salaams And who am I to bridle If I'm forced to be an idol? If they say that I'm a god That's what I am! What's more if we don't comply With the locals' wishes, I I can see us being sacrificed or stuffed You have a point That's very good thinking So let's be gods, the perks are great! Yeah, El Dorado on our plate (thank you) Local feeling should not be rebuffed Never rebuffed A-never rebuff a local feeling No, my friend! It's tough to be a god But if you get the peoples' nod Count your blessings Keep 'em sweet That's our advice It's great advice Be a symbol of perfection Be a legend Be a cult Take their praise, take the collection As the multitudes exalt Don a supernatural habit We'd be crazy not to grab it! You got it! So sign up two new gods for paradise Paradise!

Life's okay I'm looking backwards through the wrong side of the screen It's a Lifetime show for freaks And watch your pace I'm laughing loudest when I want to walk a way It's performative and sheen Let's meet for drinks, let's try to be social (Meet for drinks, let's try to be social) But when I leave, I know I've met no one I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely Let's get involved Without an ounce of love it's scarier to be Alone than here with me And stay for years It's not a good spot but I've found somewhere to be A complacent kind of peace And we won't have to think while we're touching (We won't have to think while we're touching) But when we kiss, you know it means nothing I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely It's okay to be lonely You're not estranged, they're just boring There's not a person worth knowing It's fine, we're overextended Don't smile, you're only pretending You're not estranged, they're just boring There's not a person worth knowing It's fine, we're overextended Don't smile I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely I wish someone had told me it's okay to be lonely It's okay to be lonely (It's okay to be lonely) (It's okay to be lonely)

Here we go again, another night of being bumped I'll keep to myself, avoid the sun, and cancel plans with everyone I know 'Cause it's just how it always ends, our bond will break 'Cause you can't relate to anyone, to anything at all You brought your worst, and I'm right here No, I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear You're not the person that I knew back then It's all too late to set things right 'cause everything has been You're not the person that I knew back then Let's try and act like this didn't happen Follow your friends, like you ever had them You still know me, still not cut out for this sort of thing Never wanna be caught in between, I need constant reminders of everything So what? It's who I am, I played it off so well I just hold it in no matter how I've been, so nobody, nobody can tell You brought your worst, and I'm right here No, I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear You're not the person that I knew back then It's all too late to set things right 'cause everything has been You're not the person that I knew back then Let's try and act like this didn't happen Follow your friends, like you ever had them I won't sleep till the break of dawn (Break of dawn) Can't let our problems find me here So everybody, come on You brought your worst, and I'm right here I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear You're not the person that I knew back then It's all too late to set things right 'cause everything has been You're not the person that I knew back then Let's try and act like this didn't happen Follow your friends, like you ever had them You're not the person that I knew back then It's all too late to set things right 'cause everything has been You're not the person that I knew back then Let's try and act like this didn't happen Follow your friends, like you ever had them

The night is filled with questions The darkness takes its toll Why did we take love for granted How could we lose control And I wonder as I lie here Not knowing where you are Was it as hard to be together As it is to be apart Was goodbye the answer I'm not sure anymore I just might trade the way it is For the way it was before And I still can't help but wonder Is it as lonesome where you are Was it as hard to be together As it is to be apart It hurt too much to just keep holding on But I know I've never spent a night this long And I swear it seems that letting go May leave a deeper scar Was it as hard to be together As it is to be apart Well it hurt too much to just keep holding on But I know I've never spent a night this long And I swear it seems that letting go May leave a deeper scar Was it as hard to be together As it is to be apart Was it as hard to be together As it is to be apart

I hardly think I'm qualified To come across all sanctified I just don't cut it with the cherubim The town's already on its knees Being worshiped is a breeze I barely know the words to any hymn Listen, if we don't comply With the locals' wishes, I Can see us being sacrificed or stuffed Let's be gods, the perks are great El Dorado on a plate Local feelings should not be rebuffed It's tough to be a god Tread where mortals have not trod Be deified, when really you're a sham Be an object of devotion Be the subject of psalms It's a terrifying notion All those prayers and those salaams Any normal man would bridle If he's forced to be an idol And a normal man's exactly what I am All the same, it's pretty clear The scoundrels don't keep much up here They must have zillions under lock and key But gods can force them to unleash Enough to make us nouveau riche Beyond our wildest dreams, so follow me Can't you see I won't relax If religious maniacs Tell me I'm all-powerful and sublime How can I be their belief When I'm lying through my teeth? Why don't we just say "Some other time"? It's tough to be a god But if you get the people's nod Count your blessings, keep them sweet, is my advice Be nirvana, be salvation Be all things to all men Butter up your congregation Every Sunday score a ten The alternative is dire Simply frying pan to fire So sign on two new gods for paradise (paradise, paradise!)
