There are no absolutes to human misery
Things can get worse
Hum...humming in the wires
No news is good news
Sad children of the fates
These homeless of the world
All gathered here in this bar for a while
To forestall going out in the world
Yeah, I think of a million things
As I ride through the night
My dead dad above me
I'm down the well
If this is hell
Turn up the heat
If you're the devil
Turn up the god-damned heat
You're a running, baby deer
Caught in the headlights
Have you ever really faced fear
Like a bu*terfly in drying concrete
Laying in the gutter facing the wrong way
And the stars aren't here anymore
If I ever get off of this bed
I'll believe in you
I just wanted to be good
Like the Beatles in Hollywood (repeat)
I'm so sick of cake
I'm sick of health
A drunken rage
Hey, I can do that straight
Logically I could reason my way
Right back to hell
I could medicate myself
Right back into a coma
Religiously
I kick my habit
Indulgently
All the doctors in the town
The nurses in the institution
All the philosophers in the world
All the priests in the suburbs
Couldn't tell me why
Why the woman hurt
If they only had a clue
They convince you that
There's no such thing as luck
Til you're so f**ed up
You need a lawyer to become unstuck
I just wanted to be good
Like the Beatles in Hollywood (repeat)
Don't ask me
I've nothing to say
Nobody cares about anybody else anyway
Don't ask me
I've nothing to say
Nobody cares about anybody else anyway...
I will not be another
This is nameless drivel
From this faceless void
I will put my name on a tombstone
And plant it in a quiet corner somewhere
I just wanted to be good
Like the Beatles in Hollywood (repeat)
