"Couldn't Get It Right" lyrics

You wake up in the morning
Look for a clue, something new
Turn on the radio and it's as dead
As the visions dying in your head

And when you were young
You had big ideas, no hidden fears
You had your heroes, they were walking tall
Now your devotion seems comical

So now you got older
And the world's got colder than it used to be
Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right

You played the game as children
Didn't understand, life's not so grand
'Cause love hurts you and you could feel
Lonely, lonely, lonely one

Some people get it easy
They got it made, so unafraid
You'll be the fool and find the winner
He's gonna take it all

So now you got older
And the world's got colder than it used to be
Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right

So now you got older
And the world's got colder than it used to be
Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Hey, you got older and this world's got colder than it used to be

Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right, no, no, no, no
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right
