lyrics

Caught out the back of nowhere and the window is jammed,
I got more hope than a beggar but somewhat less than your average man
And I guess I was headed to someplace but it sure ain't where I am, where I am

It's the same old scene, it's quarantine, I'm frozen here in time
Yeah if Satan knows I'm living I hope Jesus knows I'll die
And maybe somewhere in the next life I'll get a chance to put things right, to put things right

Oh god I'm doing what I can,
Help me switch a light on, help me understand
Where the hell did I go wrong, this was not the mission,
this was not the plan

Maybe I'm not living to the letter of the law
but I'm morally intact so why'm I still on this prison floor
All this self-interrogation gets me down I can take no more,
take no more

They say money don't make you happy but it sure makes you feel good
And I don't give a damn about being rich but maybe I damn well should
And I always said I'd never sell my soul but right now I think I could, I know I could

Oh god I'm doing what I can...

Far too often do I wander, far too often do I fall
I'm tired of dragging myself under, tired of coming back for more

This was not the mission, this was not the plan

And I'm praying that tomorrow I'm gonna wake up feeling fine,
but experience has taught me that praying is a waste of time
Still I've come this far already and I'm not about to tow the fecking line, tow the fecking line

Oh god I'm doing what I can...

This was not the plan
