Why Does Life Entail (Me Feeling So Down Low​)​?

from Roger (Or Journey to Mars from the Styx of Kansas in an REO Speedwagon Starship) by Vincent Gargiulo

lyrics

My dad's fucking nuts
Obsessed with his work
Thinking he's all great
But acting like a jerk
My mom's always sweatin'
Those little tiny things
Bitch, I can't take no more
Of those crazy mood swings
Ain't got no more friends cuz
The ones that I had
Fuckin' pissed me off
And made me all sad
Just like the girl
That I'm seeing right now
Got no time for me. She don't even like me anyhow

I say OH! No. Why does life entail me feeling so down low?

The dog can't walk.
The car won't run.
All of my hobbies
Really aren't all that fun
Grandpa's already dead
And grandma will be soon
Don't know what she's talking about
She's just a looney tune
So that leaves me
And who the hell am I
Well I'm not saying
That I'm some perfect guy
But I try to be
Which is more than I can say
For some of those other people who just seem to get in my way

I say OH! No. Why does life entail me feeling so down low?

Yeah, I'm being selfish but you simply have to see
I help everybody else out but nobody helps me

I got problems too
That I got to figure out
Difference with me though
I don't scream & shout
I'm doing it now
To simply make a point
I'm tired of it all. I'm tired of this joint.

I say OH! No. Why does life entail me feeling so down low?

And I work so hard. And I fail, fail, fail
Yeah I work so hard. And I fail, fail, fail
But now I'm tired of talking. This is the end of my tale.
