This shit is so gas, unironically onw of there best songs

Its not there’s, its s cover 🤦‍♂️ i do like this version best tho

loved it when it came out and still listening in 2024

(Intro)
LISTEN UP, YOU BASTARDS, IN THIS SHIT-STAINED LIFE!
Another goddamn day, same goddamn strife!
Every turn I take, just more fucking pain!
Is it ME? Am I cursed? Going fucking insane?!
'CAUSE HAPPINESS? That fairy tale's a JOKE!
Just endless misery, a constant fucking choke!
So SCREW the sunshine, and SCREW the goddamn bliss!
This ain't living, it's just existing in this ABYSS!

(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, same old fucking dread.
Another day wasted, wishing I was dead.
Tried all the bullshit, the gurus and the lies,
Said happiness is out there, beneath these goddamn skies.
But all I find is heartache, a kick right in the teeth.
This ain't bad luck, man, this runs way underneath.
Feels like some dark power's got a hold on my soul,
Like happiness ain't in my fucking control!

(Chorus)
IS THIS MY FUCKING CURSE?! TO CHASE A GHOST?!
Happiness dangles, then vanishes the most!
Every goddamn time I think I'm getting near,
POOF! It's gone again, replaced by fucking fear!
So SCREW the silver linings, and SCREW the hopeful dawn!
Maybe some of us are just born fucking forlorn!
This ain't life, it's torture, a goddamn losing game!
And happiness for me? Just a goddamn name!

(Verse 2)
Tried to find some solace, a goddamn moment's peace.
Booze, drugs, and women, a temporary release.
But the hangover hits harder, the emptiness remains,
Just another reminder of these never-ending pains.
They say "chin up, buddy," "things will get much better."
Yeah, well, shove that sunshine right up your goddamn sweater!
'Cause I've been waiting my whole life for that fucking turn,
And all I've learned is this goddamn world will burn!

(Chorus)
IS THIS MY FUCKING CURSE?! TO CHASE A GHOST?!
Happiness dangles, then vanishes the most!
Every goddamn time I think I'm getting near,
POOF! It's gone again, replaced by fucking fear!
So SCREW the silver linings, and SCREW the hopeful dawn!
Maybe some of us are just born fucking forlorn!
This ain't life, it's torture, a goddamn losing game!
And happiness for me? Just a goddamn name!

(Verse 3)
See happy couples laughing, walking hand-in-hand.
Makes me wanna puke all over this goddamn land.
What the fuck did they do to deserve that fleeting high?
While I'm stuck here rotting, just waiting to fucking die.
Maybe I'm poison, maybe I'm the fucking blight,
That sucks the goddamn joy out of everything in sight.
So don't come near me with your smiles and your cheer,
'Cause all I feel is hatred, year after goddamn year!

(Chorus)
IS THIS MY FUCKING CURSE?! TO CHASE A GHOST?!
Happiness dangles, then vanishes the most!
Every goddamn time I think I'm getting near,
POOF! It's gone again, replaced by fucking fear!
So SCREW the silver linings, and SCREW the hopeful dawn!
Maybe some of us are just born fucking forlorn!
This ain't life, it's torture, a goddamn losing game!
And happiness for me? Just a goddamn name!

(Verse 4)
I scream into the void, a goddamn primal yell!
Does anyone fucking hear me in this personal hell?
The silence just screams back, a deafening reply,
That I'm alone in this torment, just waiting to die.
So fuck your happy endings, your rainbows and your sun!
My story's a tragedy that's never fucking done!
I'll keep on fighting, fueled by spite and by rage,
Against this goddamn curse that's kept me in a cage!

(Outro)
SO FUCK IT ALL! FUCK THIS SHIT LIFE I LEAD!
FUCK EVERY SINGLE HOPE, EVERY GODDAMN NEED!
MAYBE I'M MEANT FOR MISERY, TIL THE BITTER END!
MAYBE HAPPINESS AIN'T A GODDAMN THING TO FIND, MY FRIEND!
YEAH! JUST THIS FUCKING HOLLOW! THIS ENDLESS GODDAMN PAIN!

(Chorus)
IS THIS MY FUCKING CURSE?! TO CHASE A GHOST?!
Happiness dangles, then vanishes the most!
Every goddamn time I think I'm getting near,
POOF! It's gone again, replaced by fucking fear!
So SCREW the silver linings, and SCREW the hopeful dawn!
Maybe some of us are just born fucking forlorn!
This ain't life, it's torture, a goddamn losing game!
And happiness for me? Just a goddamn name!
