Down On The World Again

This ain't the way it's supposed to be, there's a dark cloud
Following me
I'm disillusioned
And I'm down on the world again
There's movies going on in my head
And all I can see is the color red
I'm relentless
And I'm down on the world again
Give me tomorrow's broken dreams now
I'm feeling like a loaded gun

There's a world of guilt written on my face and I feel ashamed for the human race
I've been forsaken
And I'm down on the world again

Well, I feel so alone in this crowd, my thoughts of despair
Are getting loud
I'm disrespected
And I'm down on the world again
Love and tolerance have abandoned me and I feel the gloom hovering over me
I'm resentful
And I'm down on the world again

Give me tomorrow's broken dreams now
I'm feeling like a loaded gun
Give me tomorrow's holy schemes now, so hopeless
When there's no place left to run

Well, I tried to play for the higher stakes
You won't let me forget my mistakes
I'm unforgiven
And I'm down on the world again
This ain't the way it's supposed to be, there's a dark cloud
Following me
I'm distorted
And I'm down on the world again
