lyrics

He opens his eyes
He's already preparing the day's alibis
He falls out of bed
And he lands on the books that he still hasn't read
He's playing a part
But it seems that each morning the needle skips back to the start
It's Venice again
But all he can think of is vodka and video games

Chorus
But it's hard to get by
Without a lifetime's experience on your side
It's hard to make time
When you do you'll discover it's not what you thought you'd find

Chorus

They try to be kind
But they're stuck like the wallpaper just misaligned
He sharpens his tongue
For the war of the words that he's waiting to come
The neighbours they know
From the screaming at night that it's better if one of them goes
But what can you do
With the end of a barrel continually pointing at you

Chorus
