Why don’t you just snap out of it?
I hear them say to me
Pull yourself together they say
So I don’t expect empathy
What’s wrong with you I hear?
Why are you crying anyway?
Sort yourself out man
Dry those tears, wipe them away
And yet here I find myself again
Hurt, battered and broke
Peace and quiet is all I seek
The pains to ease and go
What if I steer this car to the left
Leave this road, leave this life
No more pain and suffering
No more grief, no more strife
To Switzerland I am heading
Oh! Didn’t you know?
It’s an easy way out
Wish it didn’t have to be so
But it’s too late now
It’s been a long hard road
Full of bumps, full of holes
With hopes dashed, such a heavy load
I’m afraid to go there
Yet too frightened to stay
Can’t take it anymore
Too many fears to allay
Hope there’s no heaven or hell
That thought repulses me so
All that eternal suffering
A despicable concept, so low
