Sometimes you just have to sit back and relax
when some asshole is pissing on the seat of your soul
its the little things day by day

isnt it funny how life slips away
isnt anybody else here to stay
i made this while the fortress was under attack
and looking back i think i made a really bad call
its a little thing, days gone by
and now i know ill be alright
isnt it funny
