The GC5 - When All Else Fails lyrics

rate me

Another day goes by you lay your head down

And you count yourself the richer for the grief

Those rare moments of joy and painless laughter

Will pass you by like stardust in your sleep

You've been immobilized by jurisprudence

Weighing in on both sides of the scale

They've handed you less than you might have asked for

And all that they've bestowed is old and stale

Outside the hustlers hustle

And philosophers wrestle

With the symptoms of our age

While you're moderating monologue

Between a sucker and a sage

Another day goes by you lay your head down

You can't get no satisfaction or relief

Moving one step further down a line

Stretching back far beyond belief

You put your letter in the box

And you hope for the best

But you can't take it back

Once it's off of your chest

They only turn the clocks back once every year

For 21 years you've been aimlessly walking

Down detours and down all the well-worn trails

And all the while you've been shamelessly talking

But that's how you kill the time when all else fails
