It's a Mess Lyrics

Right and Wrong

Ain't always Black and White

It can feel downright evil to do what's right

And it can feel so damn good to do what's wrong

By the time you know for certain, man, the moment is gone

Time flies

When you're having fun

Or when you're feeling bummed

Or doing nothing at all

Hindsight

Is 20/20

But ain't it funny

When you look back to discover you were right all along?

Wait a minute

That shit ain't funny at all!

It's a mess - Best get dressed

And don't forget to strap on the galoshes

It's a Mess - Relentless

It splashes, it sloshes, it seeps into the closets

And them's the type of sticky stains that nothing ever washes

Off and on

Or rather, dark and light

Ain't always day and night

Just our perception of reality

No split

In fact it goes with

The division of vision into separate things

The illusion of duality

And the pain that it brings

Yes! It's a mess - don't distress

A test just for the sake of testing

It's a mess - you can bet

Just when you're thinking maybe that you got this

It's so predictably unpredictable, you can set your watches

Better get your raincoat

Better kick in the extra dough for the clear coat

So, you think you got yourself a foolproof plan?

Nothing

Nothing can prepare you

Nothing

Can't you understand

Foolish man!

It's a mess - No regrets

Can't play in the mud without getting any on you

It's a mess - Stop the press

The more that you're fretting, the more tears you're shedding, the more blood you're letting, the wetter you're getting but you are forgetting.

It's a mess - Your best guess

Is better than endless guessing

It's a mess - Be fearless

Even though you're scared shitless

A witness on the hit list

Fear not

Something

You can

Count on

Is on

Its way

So you

Can stop

Sitting

Waiting

Counting

The days
