Che Bella Giornata

It's always rough to think
We blew our chance, it's gone
I should wake up with a smile
What a beautiful day
I should think positive
What a load of crap
I had a good reason, and now it's gone
It's the traffic that clogs the road
It hasn't even started, and I already want to go home
I could take a leave, find an excuse
I've been doing this crappy job for a while, and to be honest
I wish they'd fire me, forget about me
In a flash, like you did
As if I hadn't worked my ass off
To give you my best
But in the end, maybe a best that isn't there
They told me when you laugh, you look better, yeah
But to do that, I’d need a twin
I should take off my hat, without it
I'm just William, cold outside, warm inside like a thermos

But from the outside, you can't see it, you can't feel it
People don't get it, and often, if not always, misunderstand
Close your eyes and go, go
Close your eyes and go, go
You've been thinking about it for a while
For some, this is life, well, not for me
Close your eyes and go, go

Close your eyes and go, go

I've thought for too many years
That a bunch of assholes were in charge of me
I've faced harassment in the crowd
I've seen sharks, I've seen robots, I've seen the good ones
One day, I took a blank sheet and wrote
Subject: Resignation
And fuck you!
I want my life back
Work dignifies a man
Not this, I don't believe it
And I don't need a glass bowl
Shit, I can already see you in ten years, you’ll have moved
But not more than a meter
Because you're a poor bastard
In the ass end of the world
Spineless, without guts
Men whose dream is to do the same thing every day
Go home and have dinner ready
It's the life I don't want
One fuck a week and a fake I love you a day

If I had stayed one more second, I swear I would have died
Because deep down, I'm way too deep

But from the outside, you can't see it, you can't feel it
People don't get it, and often, if not always, misunderstand
Close your eyes and go, go
Close your eyes and go, go
You've been thinking about it for a while
For some, this is life, well, not for me
Close your eyes and go, go
Close your eyes and go, go

I can tell you I wish I felt ready
Tell you I wish I could realize

I know everything's easy when you know how to lie
I can tell you I wish I felt ready
Tell you I wish I could realize
I know everything's easy when you know how to lie

But from the outside, you can't see it, you can't feel it
People don't get it, and often, if not always, misunderstand
Close your eyes and go, go
Close your eyes and go, go
You've been thinking about it for a while
For some, this is life, well, not for me
Close your eyes and go, go
Close your eyes and go, go
