You, you try, you try to get by
Youre never gonna pull it off, you shouldn't even try
You're a wet cigarette, youre always second best
They're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselvesSo you fight for them to realize
There's more to life, there's more to you
There's more than meets the eyeAnd when you're done, the battle's been won
You sit back, you smile
And this is what you hum, you humWhoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
1234, 1234You, you try, you try to get by

Every single second is a moment in time
It passes, oh, so quick and it seems like nothing

You never had it hard, but now it's getting tough
So you,whine, whine, whine and you say you've had enoughYou say, I'm full of shit, that I'm a hypocrite
I shouldn't talk when I can't take the advice that I give
Well, maybe you're right, but open your eyes
The main difference here is that I try, try, tryWhoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
