lyrics

(verse 1)
It’s unwelcome when it comes
You suck it in, black lung
What was started is done
It puts the pain where the fun was
Even innocence doesn’t work, I’m a smoking gun
I’m not a saint, but the game was even the losers won

(pre-chorus)
Another plank in the fence and a stone in the wall
Another rise and a fall, Oh, the rise and the fall

(chorus)
I try to stay in optimistic lands
But nothing could be worse than this
It’s a hug from God and a Devil’s kiss but…
None of us gets a long time…
None of us gets a long time here
None of us gets a long time

(verse 2)
It’s a battle in the mud
Doesn’t matter what you bring
All the best intentions, the hands still dirty
All the denying only hurts ‘cause the end will come
Another rise and a fall, Oh, the rise and the fall

Chorus

None of us gets a long time
