If I could find a way to change today The way I sing and how I play I couldn't change a goddamn thing If I can't change a broken string Frustration gets the best of me Vehemence will not let me be Relaxed and gentle when I'm playing while the metal is decaying I go to so many shows my ears are always ringing And if I go deaf then I won't have to hear my lousy singing And if things are going my way It doesn't mean a thing 'Cause tomorrow I could have another broken string Well I don't know how to solve my problem So many times I've felt so dumb Seems like it's a total flop When all the action has to stop Ean sighs the punks just stare Josh runs his fingers through his hair Get so tense my hands are shaking I can't afford all the strings I'm breaking
