[verse 1]
I know this part might be corny. Just bear with me
I love hot peppers. Unfortunately, they give me ulcers
I can tolerate the ulcers, but I also get canker sores
The canker sores are worse and they're often caused by hot sauce
Not only do they hurt, but they keep me from rapping
Sometimes, they're so bad that it hurts just talking
Even if they aren't bad, they're really distracting
When I've got a couple canker sores, I usually forget about recording
Instead, in that situation, I try focusing on writing
But I've already got plenty of lyrics. I need to finish something
It would probably be best for me if I quit eating anything spicy
Because burritos and tacos will likely be the d**h of me
Next time I have pizza, I should try it without the hot sauce
But I can't bring myself to do that, because I love it too much
You'd think I could at least resist it when I already have an ulcer
And a canker sore or two, but it doesn't seem to matter
I wonder if the problem is actually a lot deeper
Maybe I have a problem with not caring about the future
[hook 1]
Why do I use so much hot sauce when it makes my stomach turn?
I've got an ulcer and I guess I'm just addicted to the burn
So get me some salsa and some hot sauce to mix in
Even though I know that tomorrow I will be suffering
[verse 2]
Why do I do this? I make decisions
Without even considering the consequences
It's so simple, but common sense is
Lacking or something so now I'm suffering
I am neither misinformed nor am I ignorant
I know full well about the cons, but I still do it
I know what's right, but that doesn't matter
I live for the moment instead of the future
And I regret it as soon as it's over
But it'll probably happen again tomorrow
If only I could learn my lesson and make the correct decision
But I just keep sinning without even second guessing
I always learn the hard way, but I'm not actually learning
Like that time when I burnt my finger on the oven
With as bad as it hurt, it should never have happened again
But I must be accident prone. It did happen again
That's the story of my life: all of these accidents and bad decisions
All kinds of various afflictions are afflicting me in repetition
[hook 2]
Why is it so hard for me to live for the future?
With the way I've been living, it seems evident I don't care
So I'll feed my addictions and make more bad decisions
Even though I know that I'll just regret it in the end
[refrain]
Every day is more of the same: same regrets and same stress
Nothing ever seems to change. My life is still a mess
Every day is more of the same: I'm still a victim of temptation
Nothing ever seems to change. As long as I'm living, I'll be sinning
[verse 3]
While reflecting on my past, I had an epiphany
I need to find something that can make my life worth living
There's no point to what I've been doing. I don't care about anything
That's the reason I'm reacting to things without even thinking
I'm not proud or bragging. I'm just saying how it's going
I've been blowing everything off as my life goes by
Why is it so easy to deny that I'll eventually die?
It's so depressing to remember that you've got so little time
Everybody wants to live for the moment and do their best to have fun
But none of what they've done has made them into someone
I don't know about you, but I'm sick of wasting my life
I'm sick of regretting my past. It's time to start getting it right
You can't go back in time to change your past
Life goes by fast and nobody really knows which day will be their last
I'll most likely live a lot longer, but I could die any day
And I can't undo my mistakes, so I've got to make them right today
I hate myself for all of the mistakes that I've made
All of those times I strayed from God when I should have prayed
I should have read the Bible, but I went straight to bed
The way I've been living is sinful and I deserve to be dead
It makes me sick, but I'll move forward and forget about it
I'm going to change everything to make the rest of my life worth it
[hook 3]
Why is it so hard for me to live for the future?
With the way I've been living, it seems evident I don't care
Every day is more of the same: I'm still in these same chains
But today is the day when everything is going to change
