Another day goes by you lay your head down   And you count yourself the richer for the grief   Those rare moments of joy and painless laughter   Will pass you by like stardust in your sleep      You've been immobilized by jurisprudence   Weighing in on both sides of the scale   They've handed you less than you might have asked for   And all that they've bestowed is old and stale      Outside the hustlers hustle   And philosophers wrestle   With the symptoms of our age   While you're moderating monologue   Between a sucker and a sage      Another day goes by you lay your head down   You can't get no satisfaction or relief   Moving one step further down a line   Stretching back far beyond belief      You put your letter in the box   And you hope for the best   But you can't take it back   Once it's off of your chest      They only turn the clocks back once every year      For 21 years you've been aimlessly walking   Down detours and down all the well-worn trails   And all the while you've been shamelessly talking   But that's how you kill the time when all else fails
