Sometimes I feel so uninspired
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel so very tired
Sometimes I feel like I've had enoughSometimes you feel like you've been hired
Sometimes you feel like you've been bought
Sometimes you feel like your room's been wired
Sometimes you feel like you've been caughtBut don't let it get you down, no, no
There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might be downBut by tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of daySomebody's laughing while someone is crying
Old folks are watching the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
Hunger and pain is all I seeI don't know who's losing
And I don't know who's winning
Hardships and trouble are following meBut don't let it get you down, no, no
There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might be downBut by tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of daySomebody's laughing while someone is crying
Old folks are watching the close of the day
Sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
Hunger and pain is all I see, yeahI don't know who's losing
And I don't care who's winning
Hardships and trouble are following me, yeah, yeah
