[Verse 1: Peter Doherty]
Woke up again to my chagrin
Getting sick and tired of feeling sick and tired again
I tried to write, because I got the right
To make it look as if I'm doing something with my life
Got to find a vein, it's always the same
And a drink to ease the panic and the suffering
I woke up again
Dreamt of Gunga Din
[Chorus]
Oh, the road is long
If you stay strong
You're a better man than I
You've been beaten and flayed
Probably betrayed
You're a better man than I
[Verse 2: Carl Barât]
Woke up again to my evil twin
The mirror is f**ing ugly and I'm sick and tired of looking at him
Been up all night, I'll probably pick a fight
'Coz I can't help it, I'm ba*tard in the morning
So I try to write, I think I have the right
A little drink-y now and then to help me just to see the light
Just another day, it feels like nothing's changed
Oh f** it, oh here I go again
[Chorus]
Oh, the road is long
If you stay strong
You're a better man than I
You've been beaten and flayed
Probably betrayed
You're a better man than I
[Bridge: Peter Doherty/Carl Barât]
What's the point in me now?
I can't chase you nohow
Oh, leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight from Sunday blues
[Chorus]
Oh, the road is long
If you stay strong
You're a better man than I
You've been beaten and flayed
Probably betrayed
You're a better man than I
[Outro]
La la-la la, la la-la la, la la-la la la
La la-la la, la la-la la, la la-la la la
Oh what are you doing, you stupid f**ing idiot?
Wake up!
Hey!
