There just ain't no reason for the way that I feel
The way that I feel, but I'm feeling good

Lately things just ain't been going quite like they should
Quite like they should, but I still feel good

Let me explain that I witnessed the end of the world
Like someone had hurled all the weight on me

I couldn't see from my funeral walk just what I needed
Just what I needed, but I couldn't see

I spent the last few weeks with a chip on my shoulder
I thought that I was alone with my tragedy (I couldn't take it)

But if I see myself like an actor in a play,
It makes me feel better; I'm not the only one
Who doesn't get his way
