New day callin’ now
Raisin’ one eyebrow
Shiftin’ sticky clutch
Steps seem out of touch
Life makin’ no sense
Ain’t got fifty cents
Sittin’ on life’s bench
Rain comes, just to drench
Losin’ track of time
Life’s lemons and limes
Prices skyrocket
Jean’s empty pockets
Life’s newest gamble
Fallin’ to shambles
Lookin’ down dark road
Map’s secret, stealth code
Life’s hollow grand slam
Cold toast without jam
Missin’ mornin’ snooze
Just singin’ life’s blues
Dreamin’—yes I am
Life’s final exam
