Lyrics
WELCOME TO ANOTHER DAY
There's pretty good cable,
My mother's old table,
A rug from some Goodwill store . . .
A picture of Dylan,
Some wall space to fill in--
I gotta start hanging more.
A codger from down the hall says I can always give a yell.
Welcome to another day in hell.
The friends I thought were friends,
It turns out were her friends,
And I am persona non.
So what can you do? You
Develop a new you--
Hey, maybe the new Don Juan.
You splash on some hip cologne and nearly vomit from the smell.
Welcome to another day in hell.
People in hell spend a lot of time in bed.
All kinds of books laying half-read.
The little I have earns
Some time at the taverns.
I go maybe twice a week.
The women I see there
Look happy to be there,
So sometimes I even speak.
I probably ought to have a harder sell or harder shell.
Welcome to another day in hell.
People in hell drink an awful lot of beer.
They just can't stand seeing too clear.
I cook 'cause I hafta
And blame it on Nafta.
The bastards up North have jobs.
I'm cruising on vapors.
I flip through the papers,
And go till my poor head throbs.
I'll pick up some pick up work to tide me over for a spell.
Welcome to another day in hell.
Well, well, well, well, well, well.
Welcome to another day in hell.
It's just another day in hell.
Pull up a chair and sit by the fire.
Like any other day.
