[Verse 1] I got fired from my job today And none of my friends will even pick up my calls There's a million different kinds of waves And I don't know, where I'm supposed to land We won't stay down for too long, long [Hook] (2x) This won't last for long This won't last for long This won't last for long You know I've seen it all [Verse 2] The waves keep crashing down The candles they keep getting blown out Don't know for how long We've got to make it through this crooked life We won't shine if we're blinded by the dark side We won't stay down for too long, long [Hook] This won't last for long (this won't last for long) This won't last for long This won't last for long You know I've seen it all (you know I've seen it all) This won't last for long This won't last for long This won't last for long You know I've seen it all [Instrumental/Outro]
