so what if it hurts?
it's not all that bad.
life ain't about what you're worth,
it's about what you have.
i'm not talking stuff,
no, it's not about that.
it's about what you've got in your guts,
so you'd better hold fast.
give me just one more shot now.
i'll give it all that i've got now.
maybe i'm bound to get knocked down.
i can get back on my feet.
i know you want that hot sound.
i've got that shit on lockdown.
i'm not about to just stop now.
maybe it's all that i need.
so what if it hurts?
so what if you failed?
who says that you did?
there's no sense in obsessing
and stressing your head over this.
and as for success,
you decide what that is.
i'll design my life
exactly how i want to live.
give me just one more shot now.
i'll give it all that i've got now.
maybe i'm bound to get knocked down,
i can get back on my feet.
i know you want that hot sound.
i've got that shit on lockdown.
i'm not about to just stop now.
maybe it's all that i need.
so what if it hurts?

once upon a time
i was the greatest man alive.
i kicked my engines into overdrive.
now i’m just a jabroni
working nine to five.
i’ve gotta find a way out.
gotta find a way out of this.
the situation’s looking grim,
but if anyone can kick out,
i can, so i keep up my chin.
ain’t that the way it’s always been?
but how much longer can i do it?
longer can i do it?
whatever happened to the person that i used to be?
(whatever happened to the person that i used to be?)
i get a fraction of the action that i used to see.
(whatever happened to the person that i used to be?)
he might be gone, but i’m still holding on.

i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.
we'll play at all the local bars and grills,
where the thrills are even cheaper
than the drinks you spill and
everybody knows your name
but no one cares enough to say it.
(no one cares enough to say it)
we'll call ourselves the lonely cosmonauts
or freddy vs. jason and the argonauts
and we'll fuck up a journey song
every single time we play it.
i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.
we'll start to build a little following
of divorcees who aren't afraid of howling
or shouting out a song request
every single time we're playin'.
(every single time we're playin')
we'll take 'em back to thirty years ago.
the half price appetizers and the beers will flow.
they'll dance the night away until
their troubles start evaporating.
i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.
we'll rehearse in brett's garage
on saturdays, when his wife is gone
and we'll finally nail the intro to black hole sun.
i fuckin' love that song.
i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.
word up.

it's crazy that somebody loves me.
it's strange to think that somebody
could think the world of me
and if you're out of your noggin,
well, at least we've got one thing in common.
i might be insane, but i wouldn't be the same without you.
i'm sorry it's taken me so long to say it.
i have been very delicate with
the way that i wanted to phrase it.
i just want this to live up to
the way that i feel when i'm thinking of you
and i'm sorry it's taken me so long to say it.
but it's crazy that somebody loves me.
it's strange to think that somebody
could think the world of me
and if you're out of your noggin,
well, at least we've got one thing in common.
i might be insane, but i wouldn't be the same without you.
miss elizabeth,
please help me just a little bit,
cause i can't manage all this
madness i've been living with
and when that rhythm hits,
those savage and ridiculous
ideas melt away from my mind.
i might be insane, but i wouldn't be the same without you.

i need somebody to talk to.
i need somebody to care.
no, it can't just be anybody.
it's gotta be somebody
who can stand her ground
and knows how to throw her weight around
when the lights go down.
and when that second line comes,
yo she ain't gonna wait around.
she won't wait around.
there i go again, this wishful thinking never ends.
call me crazy but you never seem to call.
there i go again, this wishful thinking never ends.
and whoever said you can't have it all?
is it too much to ask for?
am i out of my head?
oh well!
it's just a brain,
i don't need it for anything
i'd rather be somebody
who can take a few shots
and still stand on top
of the world someday,
in my own way,
and if you try
to slow me down, homie
there will be hell to pay.
there will be hell to pay!
there i go again, this wishful thinking never ends.
might be driven, but i'll drive you up a wall.
there i go again, this wishful thinking never ends.
and whoever said you can't have it all?
what kind of life do you wanna live?
there i go again, this wishful thinking never ends.
call me crazy but you never seem to call.
there i go again, this wishful thinking never ends.
and whoever said you can't have it all?
