We wake up lonely And feeling small We're not the only To see the writing On the wall We have our coffees And dump our trash Like kamikazes We're heading for a crash There's no going back We're on a one way track Don't you know that Sour days are here to stay? Some like it salty Some like it sweeter Some like it malty With some oats and A twist of wheat Some say go plenty Some want it dry We sure feel empty When we fail after every try There's no going back We're on a one way track Don't you know that sour days Are here to stay? So just give in If your patience's wearing thin And just accept that sour days Are here to stay First time will almost Taste like shampoo Second time will still Be a bit weird Third time it starting To grow on you Soon you'll check In as a volunteer To rep the sour days, yeah! No going back We're on a one way track Don't you know that sour days Are here to stay? So just give in For this is not the end And just accept that sour days Are here to stay There is no going back Don't you know that sour days Are here to stay? Yeah
