SOUNDGARDEN LYRICS - The Day I Tried To Live

"The Day I Tried To Live"



I woke the same as any other day

Except a voice was in my head

It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade

And watch the rolling heads



The day I tried to live

I stole a thousand beggar's change

And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win

I dangled from the power lines

And let the martyrs stretch

Singing



One more time around

Might do it

One more time around

Might make it

One more time around

Might do it

One more time around

The day I tried to live



Words you say never seem

To live up to the ones

Inside your head

The lives we make

Never seem to ever get us anywhere

But dead



The day I tried to live

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs



I woke the same as any other day you know

I should have stayed in bed



The day I tried to live

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs



And I learned that I was a liar

Just like you
