Why was I born today   Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say   I never had a chance   But opportunity's now in my hands      I stand with my guitar   All I need's a mirror then I'm a star   I'm so sick of dud TV   Next time you switch on   You might see me, oh, what a thrill for you      I've been there, gone there   I've lived there and bummed there   I've spinned there, I gave there   I drank there and I slaved there      I've had enough of the way things been done   Every man on a razors edge   Someone has used us to kill with the same gun   Killing each other by driving a wedge      My life's a mess   I wait for you to pass   I stand here at the bar   I hold an empty glass      Why was I born today   Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say   I didn't get a chance   Opportunity's in my hands      I stand with my guitar   I need a mirror then I'm a star   I'm so sick of dud TV   Next time you switch on you might see me      I've been there and gone there   I've lived there and bummed there   I've spinned there, I gave there   I drank there and I slaved there      Had enough of the way things have been done   Every man on a razors edge   Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun   We were killing each other by driving a wedge      My life's a mess   I wait for you to pass   I stand here at the bar   I hold an empty glass      Don't worry, smile and dance   You just can work life out   Don't let down moods entrance you   Take the wine and shout      My life's a mess   I wait for you to pass   I stand here at the bar   I hold an empty glass
