"Murphy's Law" lyrics

"Murphy's Law"

Why does the van
Always break down on a Sunday
30 miles from the show?
And the one night you leave the gear inside the car
You awake to a broken rear window

Well c'est la vie we shout into the void
This desperate plea
To whatever doles out all this shitty luck
Won't you please just leave us be
'Cause it can't be difficult to see
That we're exhausted, and our lives already suck

Every time the phone rings, I'm just
Terrified there's bad news on the other end
They found something odd in the test results or we've
Come to find out we're down another friend
They say "expect the worst and hope for the best"
Well I just hope that we can traverse this mess
Without emerging jaded, joyless, sullen shells
Of who we were before life took its toll
We're the butt of the cruelest cosmic joke!

Oh well, c'est la vie
With another desperate plea
To whatever doles out all this shitty luck
Won't you please just leave us be
Cause it can't be difficult to see
That we're exhausted, and our lives already suck

When every path leads to a dead end
And it feels your life's out of your hands
Can't catch a break, the stars just won't align
With all the chips stacked against you and no sanctuary to run to
After all that can has gone wrong what the hell is there left to do?

You can pick your self up, dust your self off
[?] and shit's bound to happen
That's life and you've just got to roll with the punches
So they tell me that this ain't over yet
We've still got a fighting chance!
Giving up's fucking boring
So strap on your [?] and fuck Murphy's Law like:

Hell no fuck this noise
And no longer take life's shit with poise
It's too exhausting just existing in this rut
So we're flipping double sided coins
Stacking decks and kicking groins
'Cause from here on out we're making our own luck!
