And I wonder why it always falls to me
I never wanted all of this responsibility
I never asked to be the one with all the sk**
I never asked to be the one by whom your hopes are filled
I work all day and night and never a solution
And workin' night and day I get no restitution
No resolution for a cosmic situation
A never ending source of bitter frustration
Why is that I always have to be the one?
Why is that now I'm now the savior of your lives?
No love is left for me nor is there time to be afraid
I have to be up in the lab to keep us from our graves
I understand all of your hopes depend on me
But there is certainly no fate that I can guarantee
How did it happen? Why could it happen? Why now you see?
All the questions put off, are now the questions that plague me
The hours they begin to melt to days
And still I see no way to keep all this at bay
A million years of science can not stop this decay
A trillion years of science I don't think can stop this day
It's inevitable the universal collapse
Perhaps we should just sit back and relax
Who am I to play god? Perhaps it's now our time
Who am I to say this is not the end of our line?
Why is that I always have to be the one?
Why is that now I'm now the savior of your lives?
No love is left for me nor is there time to be afraid
I have to be up in the lab to keep us from our graves
A little bit of chemistry
I scan the cosmos for quantum pe-cu-li-ar-i-ty
There must be a secret that I just cannot see
Otherwise what was the point, if all that was will never be?
Why is that I always have to be the one?
Why is that I'm now the savior of your lives
No love is left for me nor is there time to be afraid
I have to be up in the lab to keep us from our graves
I understand all of your hopes depend on me
But there is certainly no fate that I can guarantee
How did it happen? Why could it happen? Why now you see?
All the questions put off, are now the questions that plague me
