"Big Smoke" lyrics

You've got every component, buddy, in the big smoke
When you're feeling heavy why not lessen the load
That's just who you are and it's not up for debate
With every compromise a part is wasting away

There's not enough time to be so sad
There's not enough time to be so sad

Looks like you're just dying for a glimmer of hope
Reality won't tire from holding you by the throat

There's not enough time to be so sad
There's not enough time to be so sad
There's not enough time to be so sad
Not enough time

At least try it on even for a little bit
Your tired arms need a break for a minute
There's nothing wrong with sitting in the thick of it
When it's all done won't you be rid of it

At least try it on even for a little bit
Your tired arms need a break for a minute
There's nothing wrong with sitting in the thick of it
When it's all done won't you be rid of it

Taking off your glasses to stare at the sun
Just another battle that will never be won
That's just who you are and it's not up for debate
With every compromise a part is wasting away

There's nothing wrong with sitting in the thick of it
When it's all done won't you be rid of it
