No matter the road I manage to go the wrong way
Fixing to lose the game that I choose but can’t play
The bigger you are the harder you fall so they say
Well, I fell fucking hard enough for way fucking longer enough, mate
Thought I had it right, but it got lost along the way
Thought they had it wrong, guess I am everything they say
Tried to keep it up but now I’m down to my last nerve
I had to ask myself, is bad luck all that I deserve
“an ungrateful son of a bitch who couldn’t take the heat”
No matter the case, I finish the race in last place
Betting to lose, whatever I choose, a slap in the face
The bigger you are the harder you fall so they say
Well, I fell fucking hard enough for way fucking longer enough, mate
Thought I had it right, but it got lost along the way
Thought they had it wrong, guess I am everything they say
Tried to keep it up but now I’m down to my last nerve
I had to ask myself, is bad luck all that I deserve
So, raise your glass to a second chance
Better luck next time

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
TV Priest's second record springs forth with a tension, dynamism, and crunch not often found in this brand of broody, shouty post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
