Lyrics for This Was My Life

It was just another day It was just another fight It was words strung into sentences It was doomed to not be right There is something wrong with me There is something wrong with you There is nothing left of us There is one thing I can do Lying on your bed examining my head This is the part of me that hates Paybacks are a bitch, I throw the switch Somewhere an electric chair awaits Hey! This was my life Hey! This was my fate This was the wrong thing to do This was the wrong one to be doing This was the road to destiny This was the road to my ruin Now there's motives for the suspect Now there's nothing left to say And now there's method to the madness Now there's society to pay Lying on your bed examining my head This is the part of me that hates Paybacks are a bitch, I throw the switch Somewhere an electric chair awaits Hey! This was my life Hey! This was my fate In our life there is "if" In our believes there's "lie" In our business there is "s-s-sin" In our bodies there is "die" This was my life This was my fate This was my life This was my fate
