Regular Life

作曲: Chapin

This was a sad day

When the disappointment that was my shadow

Came into the sun

And he slapped me dull on the forehead

And he told me he had won

So I sink into my gentle home

The streets won't mind if they don't feel my heavy feet today

The bed's inclined to ask me back to stay

But if I stay

If I stay

Then I'll

Stay

So now I wonder

Is there a method to quantify both pain and joy?

Does mine hurt as bad as yours does?

Does yours feel as good as mine?

And if you live in war

Can you still keep score

Of the burdens like bodies piled at your door?

And the bodies that lost their chance to be more than bodies

Just bodies

What muffled meaning does it hold

To be told that your story is not the only one?

No, not the first nor the last

Not the best not the worst

You are cursed by a regular life
