It's a sunny day on the west coast,
And currently,
My shades are drawn,
TV's on.
I haven't left this place for days,

It's funny how things change,
I take what I get and I throw it away,
And I break everything, you've token from me,
My thought turns fast to me,
like a lethal injection,
like a lethal injection,

(Chorus)
Why does the world,
As I know it,
Keep on bringing me down,
Do my best-,
To hide it,
But it keeps bringing me... (down),
No matter how hard I try to climb,
I'll be pulled back down again-,
Why does the world,
As I know it,
Keep on bringing me down,
Keep on bringing me down,
Keep on bringing me down,

It surprised me that I'm still locked in,
and my guitar's tuned wrong,
My voice is gone,
I haven't seen sunlight in days,

It's funny how things change,
I take what I get and I throw it away,
And I break everything, that you've taken from me,
My thought turn fast to me,
like a lethal injection,
like a lethal injection,

(Chorus)
Why does the world,
As I know it,
Keep on bringing me down,
Do my best-,
To hide it,
But it keeps bringing me... (down),
No matter how hard I try to climb,
I'll be pulled back down again,
Why does the world,
As I know it,
Keep on bringing me down,
Keep on bringing me down,
Keep on bringing me down.

GUITAR SOLO

(Chorus)
Why does the world,
As I know it,
Keep on bringing me down,
Do my best-,
to hide it,
But it keeps bringing me... (down),
No matter how hard I try to climb,
I'll be pulled back down again-,
Why does the world,
As I know it,
Keep on bringing me down,
Keep on bringing me down,
Keep on bringing me down.
