I take a look around me and it makes me mad

Another friend of mine in rehab

Try to pull himself from a plastic bag

He's callin' from the Halfway House he says he's doing fine

Says he got himself out just in time

Says his friends woulda let him turn blue and die



Someday becomes yesterday

Your life goes and crawls away

You gotta take it on the Black Train, Jack

You can't even feel the fire burnin' your back



Her boyfriend left her broken and alone

She took some pills and crawled to the death zone

Her mother found her just in time

She strapped to a bed in psych ward doin' fine

Aww girl, what happened, what happened, what happened to you

What's goin' on? What's goin' on?



Someday becomes yesterday

Your life goes and crawls away

You're walkin' hand in hand with a death trip

You can't even feel the power in it's grip



Sometimes I wanna take you by your shoulders and shake you

You've got to open your eyes, man, how long will it take you

Runnin' through life blind, man, what a waste

Shot down and neutralized, man, what a case

What happened, what happened to you?

What's goin on? What's going on with you?



Someday becomes yesterday

Your life goes an crawls away

You've got to take it on the Black Train, Jack

You can't even feel the fire on your back



I don't wanna die in the wreckage

Don't wanna go blind in the wreckage

Don't wanna go down in the wreckage

Don't wanna get stuck in the wreckage

Sometimes it's all I can see

The wreckage is all around me

The human wreckage, the human wreckage

To you, I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye
