If there is a god my friend
Won't you tell me where he been
Cause I think I might need religion to make it through this time we live in
Lost my job
Lost my time
Lord I nearly lost my mind
Now all I do is sit and I complain

Maybe I will
Think I just might
Go back to 1995
When the world was the way it used to be
Back when I got a decent night sleep
Well good god damn
Son of a gun
I don't bum out everyone
I just hope that one day things will go my way

Maybe when I get older
Maybe when I get sober
Maybe then I'll get closer to where I need to be
Life it just isn't easy
So you got to be choosey
You could live the nightmare or you could live the dream

I been filled with paranoia
I been stuck in California
All the money that I saved up
I blew it on a pickup truck
Now I can't get very far as I maxed out all my credit cards
Lord I pray that I can make a change

Saddest day I ever spent was with an environmentalist
Who said we don't have many years before the world just disappears
Well my friend you're probably right
But god it don't help me sleep at night
I promise I'll try and fix the world one day

Maybe when I get older
Maybe when I get sober
Maybe then I'll get closer to where I need to be
Life it just isn't easy
So you got to be choosey
You could live the nightmare or you could live the dream

Well my friends I must confess
My life ain't what you call a success
But I spoke to god last night
And he gave me this advice
Life is short, enjoy the ride
Don't forget to live before you die
And everything will all make sense in the end

So maybe when you get older
Maybe when you get sober
Maybe then you'll get closer to where you need to be
Life it just isn't easy
So you got to be choosey
You could live the nightmare or you could live the dream

Maybe when I get older
Maybe when I get sober
Maybe then I'll get closer to where I need to be
Life it just isn't easy
So you got to be choosey
You could live the nightmare or you could live the dream"
