Lyrics

Total Bummer

[Chorus]

Go away, sunny day

Go away, sunny day

[Verse 1]

All the horny people sitting

In front of their TV and thinking

What is wrong with me? I'm not a monster

Why won't anybody fuck me

I don't want to live life lonely

Why does everyone have to be perfect?

[Chorus]

Go away, sunny day

Go away, sunny day

[Verse 2]

All the barfly's sipping whiskey

Fighting ever present pity

Wondering what they keep sucking back for

Is it the drink or trepidation

Watching all trains leave the station

Left standing alone without a ticket

[Bridge]

You light up my life

You give me hope

To carry on

You light up my days

And you, you light up my life

Let's go

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Stop searching because there's no answer

Just a long ride of disaster

There's no simple way to stop the sadness

Life's not fair I'm glad it's not

This isn't heaven

Just a lonely planet on the verge of self-destruction
