lyrics

I'm so mad at everyone for everything
They don't deserve it but that doesn't curve it
That doesn't help a thing

And pretty soon I hope that my frustration does pass
Cause anger's not a gift when it keeps you from sleepin' at night
And pretty soon I hope we can stop livin' in the past
Stop siftin' through the ashes and get ready for the fight

(Chorus)
And I know this isn't so easy for you
And I know I'm not always so easy to get along with but
I hope you know I'm tryin'
I hope you know I'm tryin'

So screw this life and screw this livin'
I'm starting to feel like I've got a heart condition
All I've ever been told is what I can't be
And screw the system cause the system killed him
He ran a hose from the exhaust pipe to the cabin
Turned the key and breathed more peacefully

(Chorus) X2
(Chorus)X2

So screw the system cause the system killed him
He ran a hose from the exhaust pipe to the cabin
Turned the key and breathed more peacefully
