Lyrics

It's a Hectic World

I'm feeling dark and

I'm looking for my head (hey)

I want to read this book

But it's getting pretty dead (hey)

I want to sleep

But I'd rather be alive (hey)

????????

When I hit you in the eye (hey)

It's my life, up your ass

It's my flesh, up your bed

You know you can't lose

It's alright

You know you can't lose

It's alright

You know you can't lose

I always step on crack

I don't care my back (hey)

When I step online

I think it's pretty fine (hey)

???????

He wants to lie (go!)

It's my light, up your height

It's my flight, up your night

You know you can't lose

Hit me twice

You know you can't lose

Hit me tight

You know you can't lose

It's alright

You know you can't lose
