Just some more wallowing in self pity & disappointments. Written March 14, 1996

lyrics

My, life’s a downer, it’s one bad thing after the other
Everything I do, just seems to fail it’s what I’m so used to

Try as I will I can’t succeed I feel like a fool
Try as I may I’m so depraved I’ve lost my way

Even my own friends tell me I’ve been off since they don’t know when
Day after day it’s all the same, my whole world’s insane

Try as I will I can’t succeed I feel like a fool
Try as I may, I’m so depraved I’ve lost my way
Try as I might, why should I fight? I’m just a tool
Tried hard but fell, from all I can tell it hurts like hell

My, life’s a downer, my, life’s a downer, my, life’s a downer

Try as I will I can’t succeed I feel like a fool
Try as I may I’m so depraved I’ve lost my way
Try as I might, why should I mind? I’m just a tool
Tried hard but fell, from all I can tell it hurts like hell
