[Verse 1]
Crumpled papers on the front seat, these prescriptions give descriptions of the side effects
Never mess with medicine they say
You're inconsolable, it's uncontrollable
The GP's hand upon your shoulder, she's saying "Chelsea, honey, take it day by day"

[Chorus]
Yeah it gets better
But it also could get worse
Tainted blessing, stubborn curse
And all the same
You just take it day by day by day by day

[Verse 2]
So sick of fighting with your fickle fucking brain
This inner dialogue is driving you insane
But worst of all you feel mundane
A boring list of old complaints
You know the score, you've played the game
As the seasons fade away
You just take it day by day by day by day

[Chorus]
There's something wrong with me
I don't think I'll ever be okay
I just take it day by day by day by day
There's something wrong with me
I don't think I'll ever be okay
I just take it day by day by day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day

[Outro, spoken]
Now best of luck, thanks for everything, as my dear, departed friend Lotus Weinstock used to say, "I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity." Excuse me while I crawl out of here.
