The Short Straw Lyrics

People say "The best is coming"

"Only time will tell"

But as of now, the promises are all they ever sell

There is no two ways about it

You picked the wrong one

And now I've got to face the consequences of what you've done

Doesn't matter what I draw

It'll be the short straw

I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

The choice you made was wrong

It was your fault all along

I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

The modern way we see each other

Across the stream

It makes you feel like things are almost better than they seem

But when it seems I'm losing focus

It all starts to break

I can't decipher the words you say, turns out I'm not awake

Doesn't matter what I draw

It'll be the short straw

I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

The choice you made was wrong

It was your fault all along

I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

We have become the global punchline

A worldwide joke

We only got their full attention when we began to choke

Every time we make a difference

It all goes down the drain

It's hard to swallow all these pills when you go and change the name

Doesn't matter what I draw

It'll be the short straw

I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

The choice you made was wrong

It was your fault all along

I see no reason to keep playing the game if I always end up losing

Gonna have to withdraw

There's a pain in my jaw

Doesn't matter what I draw

It'll be the short straw
