[verse] Tuesday afternoon it’s raining I’m just sitting here complaining. Head spinning round and round and it’s driving me insane It’s the second time this month that my plans have been sunk by the rain, it’s falling again, seems all I do is get drunk My life is a goddamn mess and I’m suffering from stress, it’s getting me down, down, down, oh, but you could care less [chorus] Why can’t I get a break? For god sake this is as much as I can take, Why can’t I get a goddamn break this year? [Instrumental interlude] [verse] Work is becoming such a chore, sitting in my office bored. Suicide – the easy way out but I can’t take it anymore Sometimes I feel just like a clown, happy outside – inside so down. Depression’s dragging me slowly into a lonely pit of despair, I’m falling down Could it be I’m slightly mad, Well, I’m feeling oh so sad. Lock me up, throw away the key for eternity, yeah that’s too bad [chorus] Why can’t I get a break? For god sake this is as much as I can take, Why can’t I get a goddamn break this year? [Instrumental interlude] [verse] Need a strong drink to get me through, to escape the shambles of my life – better make it two. I see the light ahead of me now there’s nothing left to do I’ve got to walk into the light, I cannot continue with my fight, I no longer wish to live… live in this eternal night Sitting high above the world below, my pain left behind me and I know, eternity awaits me And peace is mine at last. I… got a break… at… last
