Song Description

Can't a man have his coffee before saving the world?

Lyrics

I slip in shadows and I walk in the cracks
Step where I'm steppin', you break your mama's back
Sooner or later, you'll break her heart too
There's more to the story, but I'd have to kill you

I LIVE IN FEAR OF MY BREAKFAST GROWIN' COLD
I RIDE THE TRAIN BETWEEN HEAVEN AND NOWHERE
I LIE AWAKE, 'CAUSE THIS QUESTION EATS MY SOUL
CAN'T A MAN HAVE HIS COFFEE BEFORE SAVING THE WORLD?

Maybe you've seen me, do you know who I am?
I'm the last true believer who doesn't give a damn
Some say I'm crazy and some say I'm wise
I don't look for trouble, but I never compromise

I LIVE IN FEAR OF MY BREAKFAST GROWIN' COLD
I RIDE THE TRAIN BETWEEN HEAVEN AND NOWHERE
I LIE AWAKE, 'CAUSE THIS QUESTION EATS MY SOUL
CAN'T A MAN HAVE HIS COFFEE BEFORE SAVING THE WORLD?

The world, the world
That's just another name for mass delusion
The world, the world
Don't buy the evening news, just step inside my shoes

I slip in shadows and I walk in the cracks
Step where I'm steppin', ya break ya mama's back
Sooner or later, you'll break her heart too
There's more to the story, but I'd have to kill you

I LIVE IN FEAR OF MY BREAKFAST GROWIN' COLD
I RIDE THE TRAIN BETWEEN HEAVEN AND NOWHERE
I LIE AWAKE, 'CAUSE THIS QUESTION EATS MY SOUL
CAN'T A MAN HAVE HIS COFFEE JUST ONCE IN HIS LIFE?
I LIVE IN FEAR OF MY BREAKFAST GROWIN' COLD
I RIDE THE TRAIN BETWEEN HEAVEN AND NOWHERE
I LIE AWAKE, 'CAUSE THIS QUESTION EATS MY SOUL
CAN'T A MAN HAVE HIS COFFEE BEFORE SAVING THE WORLD?
