Your Man Alex Smith - Tragedy Lyrics

Wake up in the morning
The sunlight through my awning
Pulls me yawning, scratching from my dreams
Do what they need me to
Follow where they lead me to
I'm just a cog in their machine
And if one cog falls, the whole machine
Will come crashing to the ground
It's all fine, I'm still on time
But what's that hissing sound?
It's just a tragedy
Hidden behind a happy melody
Can't you see?
Things aren't always what they seem
Hidden behind a happy melody
I'm starting to see a theme
I have always been taught
Happiness can't be bought
But mine comes in packs of 28
Worked hard for a while
Trying to earn that smile
But I'm sick and tired of having to wait
This skin ain't sitting right on me
I guess it isn't mine
I'm not the man I'm meant to be
But I'm running out of time
Ain't it funny? If time is money
Then I just want some change
With friends like these, my enemies
Are making me feel strange
It's just a tragedy
Hidden behind a happy melody
Can't you see?
Things aren't always
I can't move, you know they got me bound
Try to scream but I don't make a sound
Take my hand because I'm going down
I'm going down! I'm going down! I said
Take my hand because I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down! Going down
Tragedy, Tragedy
Tragedy, Tragedy
It's just a tragedy
Hidden behind a happy melody
Can't you see?
Things aren't always what they seem
Tragedy
Hidden behind a happy melody
Please, for me
Listen close, up my dose
Hidden behind a happy melody
I'm starting to see a theme
