When the temperature is 9 below It'll chill you to your very soul It can kill you And it'll happen slow And the wind won't care what you have to say Yeah, the wind'll blow your words away It'll wear you down Like words in stone The wind is strong

Everything that you every thought Was a rush of words someone else dreamed up Hey life, just isn't fair We can't all be Shakespeare

The dark clouds say the rain is comin' And the rain's gonna try to tell you somethin' But when the first drop falls You'll run away The rain'll go, but not for long Soon more rain is gonna come along You can close your eyes But it won't change It has to rain

Everything that you every thought Was a rush of words someone else dreamed up Hey life, just isn't fair We can't all be Shakespeare

There's a price you pay for wasting time You go for broke as the prices climb It's a stroke of luck But not the right kind It's a dusty book on a broken shelf It's a joke you try to tell yourself Call it what it is Call it truth And it's coming for you

Everything that you every thought Was a rush of words someone else dreamed up Hey life, just isn't fair Everything that you every thought Was a rush of words someone else dreamed up Hey life, just isn't fair We can't all be Shakespeare
