When All Else Fails Lyrics - The Gc5

Another day goes by you lay your head down 

And you count yourself the richer for the grief 

Those rare moments of joy and painless laughter 

Will pass you by like stardust in your sleep 

You've been immobilized by jurisprudence 

Weighing in on both sides of the scale 

They've handed you less than you might have asked for 

And all that they've bestowed is old and stale 

Outside the hustlers hustle 

And philosophers wrestle 

With the symptoms of our age 

While you're moderating monologue 

Between a sucker and a sage 

Another day goes by you lay your head down 

You can't get no satisfaction or relief 

Moving one step further down a line 

Stretching back far beyond belief 

You put your letter in the box 

And you hope for the best 

But you can't take it back 

Once it's off of your chest 

They only turn the clocks back once every year 

For 21 years you've been aimlessly walking 

Down detours and down all the well-worn trails 

And all the while you've been shamelessly talking 

But that's how you kill the time when all else fails
