Your life's at a standstill,
And nothing's going your way.
"Plod on and get to Friday,
Wish your life away" is what they say.
They're not wrong but it's wrong, it's not living,
But what can you do?
Keep on, don't give up the day job,
Forge a plan for you.
Just dig your heels.
Never ending, I know, is how it feels.
Patience is a virtue,
But believe you've got it in you,
To see it through, it's coming soon.
Wait it out and keep your head.
Ignore the thoughts of things unsaid.
You gotta go the distance, weed out the dodgy dealings,
Let perseverance manifest in your feelings.
Wait your turn, it's round the corner.
Thrash it out a little longer.
Prolong the notion of stepping and apply some good de-stressing,
Good times are on their way, getting closer by the day.
Your love life's nonexistent,
Your social life goes from strength to strength.
All productivity stalled, it's your fault and everyone is to blame.
Your attitude leaves a lot to be desired, quite frankly it stinks,
And you couldn't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks.
You grit your teeth,
Chomping at the bit, you rue and seethe.
Patience is a virtue but believe you've got it in you,
To see it through,
It's in the stars for you.
Oooh... but time's-a-wasting.
Eternally frustrating.
The more you will it, the farther away it gets you.
Just wait it out,
And quell that doubt.
Wait it out and keep your head,
Ignore the thoughts of things unsaid.
You gotta go the distance, weed out the dodgy dealings,
Let patience manifest in your feelings.
Wait your turn, it's round the corner.
Thrash it out a little longer.
Depend on self reliance and don't resort to violence,
Good times are on their way, getting closer by the day.
This just nails that habit we all have of missing everything that’s great all around us every day while we’re busy obsessing on all the negatives. And oh that chorus!!! I hope I can see this live someday, surrounded by loads of people all bellowing along with me, collectively enjoying the moment and being happy! e3jtp
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
