The Reddit post about this is here.
The SoundCloud recording is here.
The lyrics are below:
Measure up to the man who beats you down each day
Try to understand why he looks at you that way
Some kind of confusion, it echoes in your head
Starts dragging you down, down
You wish that you were dead
Life, life is a drag at best
So take a hit and hold your breath
Let it slip away
Light, light a cigarette
Tell yourself you’re not done yet
There’s something left to give
There’s nothing left to do with
There’s nothing left to say
Now they’re understanding, you’re always in the way
This disillusion, it echoes in your head
Starts dragging you down, down
You wish that you were dead
Life, life is a drag at best
So take a hit and hold your breath
Let it slip away
Light, light a cigarette
Tell yourself you’re not done yet
There’s something left to give
Love, hate
Things you can’t escape
So why you wanna change
Love, hate
Things you can’t escape
Why you wanna change
What makes you so afraid
Life, life is a drag at best
So take a hit and hold your breath
Let it slip away
Light, light a cigarette
Tell yourself you’re not done yet
There’s something left to give
The lead singer has a British accent as far as I can tell.
