[Verse:]
You take a little time off, and then you don't
They say you run your mouth off, but you won't
If it were any other time or any other place
The worst things that would happen would never be in your face
But if you don't stop apologizing they won't forgive you
And every mistake would never fall through
If it seems like it's getting repetitive
That's because it is, and you're gonna have to live with it
Dirty up your looks just to dodge unwanted contact
If people can't see, then they're never gonna get that
Lay in bed, stare at the ceiling
A simple expression can send your mind reeling

[Pre-Chorus:]
Nothing will change, and that's okay
Shit don't get better, and that's okay
You're empty and hollow, and that's okay
The door is locked and you must stay

[Chorus:]
Ride on the rocking chair of life
It goes back, it goes forth, it goes back, it goes forth, it goes
Ride on the rocking chair of life
Is this what your life is worth? Is this what your life is worth?
Ride on the rocking chair of life
It goes back, it goes forth, it goes back, it goes forth, it goes
Ride on the rocking chair of life
Is this what your life is worth? Is this what your life is worth?
[Bridge:]
Well it's lookin' pretty bleak, but that's just me
Once again I'm feeling free
Take a look around, you'll be seein' this a lot
A ha, get the plot

[Chorus:]
Ride on the rocking chair of life
It goes back, it goes forth, it goes back, it goes forth, it goes
Ride on the rocking chair of life
Is this what your life is worth? Is this what your life is worth?
Ride on the rocking chair of life
It goes back, it goes forth, it goes back, it goes forth, it goes
Ride on the rocking chair of life
Is this what your life is worth? Is this what your life is worth?

[Outro:]
Olly olly olly olly oxen free
Olly olly olly olly oxen free
