Why was I born today?
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But opportunity's now in my hands

             
I stand with my guitar
                        
All I need's a mirror, then I'm a star
             
I'm so sick of dud TV
                              
Next time you switch on you might see me (oh, what a thrill for ya)

                     
I've been there and gone there
     
I lived there and bummed there
             
I spinned there, I gave there
              
I drank there and I slaved there

[pedal A]
                                          
I've had enough of the way things have been done
                      
Every man on a razor's edge
                                        
Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
                        
Killing each other by driving a wedge

    

                 E(no3rd)        
My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
                     E(no3rd)      
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

Why was I born today?
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I didn't get a chance
But opportunity's is in my hands

I stand with my guitar
I need a mirror, then I'm a star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on you might see me 

I've been there and gone there
I lived there and bummed there
I spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there

I've had enough of the way things have been done
Every man on a razor's edge
Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun
We were killing each other by driving a wedge

My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

    su2            sus2                      
Don't worry, smile and dance, you just can't work life out
    su2             sus2                     
Don't let down moods entrance you, take the wine and shout

My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
