Building your life up and smashing it down
You couldn't escape from this fact of life
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
Never keeping their cool, it was up and attack
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
Keep the cool for the fool
You should have seen you when you were eighteen
And Dr Diablo's on his rounds again
And with each downfall you turned ten foot tall
Hey, hey
That every decision or feeling or reason
That existing makes you a mess
Not that looks are all to go by, but anyway
That existing makes you a mess
Try to play this and sing at the same time
Building your life up and smashing it down
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
If they hit on you then you hit right back
Never gave them the chance to question why
Of the doors of discovery you had your pick
Building your life up and smashing it down
You were the toughest little fucker I've ever seen
Never gave them the chance to question why
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
Causes some sort of mental distress
If they hit on you then you hit right back
Keep the cool for the fool
Never gave them the chance to question why
Never gave them the chance to question why
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
If they hit on you then you hit them right back
Causes some sort of mental distress
The biggest kick in the balls you've ever been
Always the dreamer, but never the dead
You even look good, so they say
Yeah, pain again
Narrow the sorrow, sick of the slick
The stuff is free and you can now go to town
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
With one hand in the wallet, you took them for the ride
You couldn't escape from this fact of life
Looking for blame and you know
Has gone wild, no one blocks out the way
If they hit on you then you hit right back
If they hit on you then you slammed them right back
That he'll diagnose pain again
Keep the cool for the fool
Building your life up and smashing it down
Keep the cool for the fool
That every decision or feeling or reason
That's what rock and roll is all about
Anyone in your way, was a spike in your side
A new lease of life flowed through your body today
You had a rocky road mapped out somewhere in your head
Whoa, you're looking so torrid today, life
