True to Life

[Verse 1]

I can only sing it loud, always try to sing it clear

What the hell are we all doing here?

Making too much of nothing or creating one unholy mess

An unfair study in survival, I guess

[Pre-Chorus]

But it always comes down to what to do

When it's all around you

[Chorus]

And this tight-wire act leaving us here for dead

The news of the world and liquor piles up ahead

Dodging those with words of power forever on their breath

When the quality of life gets tripped up and strangled like death

Seems it's getting harder out there

Especially without time enough to see

[Verse 2]

True to life is another hangover

True to life is more and more politics

True to life is always having to look over your shoulder

True to life is assembly-line sickness

[Pre-Chorus]

But it always comes down to what to do

When it's all around you

[Chorus]

And this tight-wire act leaving us here for dead

The news of the world and liquor piles up ahead

Dodging those with words of power forever on their breath

When the quality of life gets tripped up and strangled like death

It seems it's getting harder out there

Especially without time enough to see
