[Verse 1]
A diamond in a rough
A walk out in a rain
It's never been enough
Addicted to the pain
Why so serious?
Searching for blame
Less than obvious
A broken picture frame

[Chorus]
It's a Goddamn mess, it's a crying shame
All but one of us lose the game
It's the natural things that stay the same
All but one of us lose the game
All but one of us

[Verse 2]
Like a spider's web
Waiting for a fly
Something soft and sweet
It catch my rolling eye
Drink from sunken tea
Drunk and oh, so high
Joy turns into grief
Plans they go awry
[Chorus]
It's a Goddamn mess, it's a crying shame
All but one of us lose the game
It's the natural things that stay the same
All but one of us lose the game
All but one of us

[Verse 3]
Beneath the joy and pain
Amongst the fear and pride
A minor victory
Thoughts of suicide
Faith in God and men
The universe provides
Grifters with their scams
Take you for a ride

[Chorus]
It's a Goddamn mess, it's a crying shame
All but one of us lose the game
It's the natural things that stay the same
All but one of us lose the game
All but one of us
All but one of us lose the game
All but one of us
All but one of us lose the game
