You had it coming for so long You break your back can't do no wrong Blinded by storms in your mind Fine halo nailed it to yourself The fuck ups must be someone else Can't look for what you might find Once more you're running around in circles just to prove You knew the answers all the while Can't figure why no matter what you say or do Things stay the same you will remain Day late a dollar short Day late a dollar short
So take each jab square on the chin Clutch at your bleeding heart within Scapegoat stepped on and deprived As cars thin out on barren streets Oiled pavement grabbing at your feet Promised distinction twice denied
(now listen) you're always hanging on to last year's next big thing A top ten list of fads gone by You greet each tourists smile with lines and borrowed clothes A liar's game you will remain Day late a dollar short Day late a dollar short
Hog-tied and hanging from Your cross don't it feel fun? Takin' names just ain't the same With just yourself to blame come on
Once more you're runnin' round in circles just to prove You knew the answers all the while Can't figure why no matter what you say or do Things stay the same you will remain Day late a dollar short Day late a dollar short Day late a dollar short Day late a dollar short
