This business ain′t for the faint of heart

Well, I fell for the bullshit

And then I started falling apartAnd by the end of the summer

I let it get the best of me

What a goddamn bummer

What a waste of my energy

So I spent a long time down in the basement

Instead of rolling with the riff-raff

'Cause I′m no better

I'm no better than that

Yeah, I spent a long time trying to make it

And when I finally faced the facts

I never felt so shitty before

I never felt so miserable

Following familiar patterns

I'm falling back into ruin

I′m getting serious douche chills

Just being in this room

I didn′t even see the humour

With the situation I was in

Knocking back down shooters

'Til I puked in the kitchen

Yeah, I spent a long time down in the basement

Instead of rolling with the riff-raff

′Cause I'm no better

I′m no better than that

I spent a long time trying to make it

And when I finally faced the facts

I never felt so shitty before

I never felt so miserable

They used to all talk down at me

And now they're biting their tongues

They used to say, "Don′t quit your day job"

Well guess what? I never had one!

I never felt so shitty before

I never felt so miserable

I spent a long time down in the basement

Instead of rolling with the riff-raff

'Cause I'm no better

I′m no better than that

Yeah, I spent a long time trying to make it

But when I finally faced the facts

I never felt so shitty before

I never felt so miserable
