[Verse 1]
He's been wearing the happy face
It's for his own sake
Yeah they're still not awake
They're still not up to date

[Chorus 1]
Yeah he's down in his bad luck
He's been stuck in a rut
He imagines who will take his place
Reenacting his bad luck again

[Verse 2]
Gradually they're not gonna wait
For it ain't quite the perfect fate
But he's gotta react before they can say
Before he's beneath a shallow grave

[Chorus 2]
Yeah he's down in his bad luck
He's been stuck in a rut
He was found face down half dead
Reenacting his bad luck over and over again
(Oh! Again and again!)
