While I try to decide
If I can still hide
From all the things that you've done
You, you throw it away
With words they've taught you to say
You still think this game is fun
Now I've tried
I've really tried
My level best
You, you stupid, old f*ck
You think this string of bad luck
Will somehow magically change
When I've been the one all along
To turn your words into songs
With all this mess rearranged
Well, I've tried
I've really tried
My level best
I thought eventually
We'd find a way to break free
And none of this would matter
Who was I fooling? Not you
I am the king of all fools
Pitcher ain't got no batter
Let's just pack up our bags
We're wearing nothing but rags
After five years of this shit
I'm tired of lie after life
You don't need to ask me why
I can't take no more of it
I've tried
I've really tried
My level best
Level best!
My level best!
My level best!
