It's hard to wake up When the shades have been pulled shut This house is haunted It's so pathetic It makes no sense at all I'm ripe with things to say The words rot and fall away What stupid poem could fix this home I'd read it every day So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when you're dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right Their anger hurts my ears Been running strong for seven years Rather than fix the problems They never solve them It makes no sense at all I see them everyday We get along, so why can't they? If this is what he wants And this is what she wants Then why is there so much pain? So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when you're dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when you're dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right It's not right It's not right It's not right
