It's times like these I'm sure there's a devil
And I'm pretty sure he don't like me
He comes in disguise to tell me lies
To make me believe I'm nothing
When what's right is wrong
And what's wrong is wrong
There's no way up
'Cept the long way down
You gotta trudge through the dirt
That makes everyone hurt
And hope you make it out alive
There's no thrill in the ride
There's no sign where to turn
You gotta make some decisions
And hope you might learn
The difference between strength and might
The changes from day to night
When nothing goes right
No matter how bright the light
Then there's no way up
'Cept the long way down
You gotta trudge through the dirt
That makes everyone hurt
And hope you make it out alive
