well i live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the night
'cuz to me everyday is halloween
i have given up hiding and started to fight
i have started to fight
well any time, any place, anywhere that i go
all the people seem to stop and stare
they say 'why are you dressed like it's halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene'
oh, why can't i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
well i let their teeny minds think
that they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
and i dress this way just to keep them at bay
'cuz halloween is everyday
it's everyday
oh, why can't i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
oh, why can't i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
i'm not the one that's so absurd
why hide it?
why fight it?
hurt feelings
best to stop feeling hurt
from denials, reprisals
it's the same it's the same in the whole wide world

well i'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun
and i keep on working till the work is all done
but a voice in my head keeps ticking away
as the sweat pours down from yet another day
well he works on
and he lives on
and he breaks his back without nothing to gain
while the boss man sits around and drinks champagne
all day
in life, there's just one transition
all day
in life, there's just one decision
well i'm peeling the blisters off a working hand
is that what it takes to make you understand
that it's something you read
not something you meant
to be slaving away without a shred of intent
well he worked on
oh, and he lived on
and he broke his back without nothing to say
while the man in control was just laughing away
all day
in life, there's just one transition
all day
in life, there's just one decision
life is just one transition
was it something you read
was it something you meant
was it something you said
or was it heaven sent
all day x2
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one transition
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one decision
