lyrics

Woke up today
Remembered somebody died
Woke up today
It happens I’m still alive
Now everything’s broken
But something is fixed
The question of meaning
There’s no meaning to this

TV’s a distraction
Turns out it always was
Whisky’s an attraction
Who ever knew it was?

But I ain’t got no survivor guilt
Although the sniper at work he took in your prime
No I ain’t got no survivor guilt
Because the sniper of life could have me on his mind

Got up this morning
Sore head but alive
While people with causes
Don’t get through the night
Squandered the daytime
Still hung up on your plight
The same old timewasting
But now done out of spite

I’ve offering a retraction
Of most of my own complaints
No right to feel any anger
That life hasn’t met my aims

But I ain’t got no survivor guilt
Although the sniper of life has cut me down to size
No I ain’t got no survivor guilt, no
Because the sniper of life could get me any time

And hey, I’m left standing
That’s some kind of result
But should I be cowering
Waiting on the assault?

Waiting for god only knows what comes next
Only know god has no role in this mess

Could be making the most of
But not fair when you have been denied
Should be seizing the moment
But something has ruined my appetite

But I ain’t got much survivor guilt
Because the sniper of life could have me in his sights
And I don’t want more than idle thrills, no
Because the sniper of life could halt them any time

And should I be thankful
For this chance to revolt?

I think I will survive the guilt, yeah
Because the sniper of life is always on my mind
The sniper of life could have me in a line
The sniper of life will get to me in time
