Struck A Nerve — текст песни (Bad Religion)

there`s an old man on a city bus
holding a candy cane
and it is`nt even christmas
he see`s a note in the obituary
that his last friend has died
there`s an inflant clinging
to his overweight mother in the cold
as the spends her last dollar
on a bottle of vodka for tonight
and i guess it
like i had to squint my eyes
you can never get out
of the line of sight
like a barren winter day
or a patch of unburned green
like a tragic real dream
i guess it
every day i wander
in negative disposition
as i`m bombarded by superlatives
that i am not alone
introverted
i look to tomorrow for salvation
but i`m thinking altruistcally
and a wave of overwhelming doubt
turns me to stone
and i guess it thought my heart
we just haven`t got time
to crack the maze
like a magic speeding clock
or a cancer in our cells
a collision in the dark
i guess it strunk a nerve
i try to close my eyes
but i cannot ignore the stimuli
if theres a purpose for us all
it remains a secret to me
don`t ask me to justify my life
