[English]

Will I live tomorrow?

Well I just can't say

Will I live tomorrow?

Well I just can't say

But I know for sure

I don't live today

No sun comin' through my windows

Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave

No sun comin' through my windows

Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave

I wish you'd hurry up and execute me

So I can be on my miserable way

I don't live today

Maybe tomorrow, I just can't say, but, uh

I don't live today

It's such a shame to waste your time away like this

...

Well, I don't live today

Maybe tomorrow, I just can't tell you, baby, but, uh

I don't live today

It's such a shame to spend the time away like this existing

...

Yeah!

Ow!

Yeah!

...

Oh, no!

Oh, there ain't no life nowhere

Damn man...
