 Day after day after trying to understand
 Why the world  tries to grind you down, make a ghost  out of a man
 Your date  of grace is due and you've pawned  everything you own
  ss
 I guess some dreams just don't come true, nothin' left but skin and wishbones ||
 Each year the world gets lonelier and uglier with sin
 You'll never see those blue skies through young eyes again
 You've prayed to every god you've known just to wind up all alone
 Your friends are gone, your mama's dead, nothin' left but skin and wishbones
Spin  the bottle cap, throw  a shot back
Everything's  gonna be  all right
Spin  the bottle cap, throw  a shot back
Cough  and cry, Lay  down and die
 Grab an end,  hold on tight
 Bottles and bones  in the night
 You'll never go  back home
 You old wishbone
 Can't eat can't sleep can't think not knowing where to go
 This is real life brother, this ain't no reality show
 If suffering is human well I guess we're not alone
 You'll survive on next to nothing but you won't live on skin and wishbones
 Repeat 2nd half of chorus
