Why am i sulking in the mire of disbelief
When there’s so much going on i can’t get no relief
It’s been so long since i could lay my head
I’ve forgotten the worth of the things i never said

Times killing me like a thief with a knife
I go nonstop yet i don’t have a life
Don’t complain just say how it is
If it’s not in my head its just show-biz

Why can’t things ever be different
I don’t need it but it wouldn’t do me harm
Why can’t someone arrange a little change

I want diamond and crystal and things that shine
As long as i lie i don’t walk on a line
Most my thoughts i can’t relate
But they gnaw at my brain if theres no escape

No mercy for the ones who always let me down
‘Cuz now there’s no again or next time around
Seize the day ‘cause it’s only so long
We gotta keep going so we don’t go wrong

Why can’t things ever be different
I Don’t need it but it wouldn’t do me harm
Why can’t someone arrange a little change
