I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
One more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
The day I tried to live
Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones
Inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere
But dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
Singing
One more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
One more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
The day I tried to live
I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
And I learned that I was a liar
And I learned that I was a liar
And I learned that I was a liar
And I learned that I was a liar
Singing
One more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
One more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
The day I tried to live
Just like you
One more time around
One more time around
