The Hammer & The Nail

When all your friends they hire lawyers
And you don't recognize who's in your bed
And the smokes only get you feeling normal
Maybe, kid, your best days aren't ahead

Dirty laundry on filthy floors
The skeletons swim out your door
And your family won't return your call no more
Maybe, kid, your best days aren't ahead

Sometimes you're the red light
Sometimes you're the green
Sometimes you're the ocean
Sometimes you're the stream
Sometimes you're the hammer
Sometimes you're the nail
Lately, I just keep on getting screwed

And my drink it tastes like dirty secrets
As the guilt it builds slowly in the drain
And my hands are wrinkled, my eyes they sting like rays
Maybe, kid, your best days aren't ahead

Sometimes you're the red light
Sometimes you're the green
Sometimes you're the ocean
Sometimes you're the stream
Sometimes you're the hammer
Sometimes you're the nail
Lately, I just keep on getting screwed

Sometimes you're the red light
Sometimes you're the green
Sometimes you're the ocean
Sometimes you're the stream
Sometimes you're the hammer
Sometimes you're the nail
Lately, I just keep on getting screwed

Sometimes you're the hammer
Sometimes you're the nail
Lately, I just keep on getting screwed
