The Vandals
I Am Crushed
[Chorus 1]
Oh, I am crushed and I am devastated
And contemplating suicide, but I don't have the nerve
And what's the rush? It all should end real soon
And so I'll just keep waiting and I'll listen to them say

[Verse 1]
"You've got your life in front you," and so I must reply
"That is just more bad news 'cause I'd really rather die."
Than limp around in agony, reliving all the tragedies
And face another day

[Bridge]
Oh, I am crushed
And I am devastated
And it's something I can't name
It ain't going away soon

[Chorus 2]
I hurt so much and I cannot explain it
It seems like there's a purpose, but I still don't understand
But that's my luck, so I'll just wait in pain
And though it doesn't help, I have to listen to them say

[Verse 2]
"Keep looking at the bright side," but that just hurts my eyes
And if you really cared, then you would simply let me die
And leave here with some dignity, but it just keeps on making me face another day
[Bridge]
Oh, I am crushed
And I am devastated
And it's something I can't name
It ain't going away soon

[Chorus 1]
Oh, I am crushed and I am devastated
And contemplating suicide, but I don't have the nerve
And what's the rush? It all should end real soon
And so I'll just keep waiting and I'll listen to them say

[Verse 1]
"You've got your life in front you," and so I must reply
"That is just more bad news 'cause I'd really rather die."
Than limp around in agony, reliving all the tragedies
And face another day

[Outro]
Oh, I am crushed
