The Reddit post about this is here.

The SoundCloud recording is here.

The lyrics are below:

Measure up to the man who beats you down each day Try to understand why he looks at you that way Some kind of confusion, it echoes in your head Starts dragging you down, down You wish that you were dead

Life, life is a drag at best So take a hit and hold your breath Let it slip away Light, light a cigarette Tell yourself you’re not done yet There’s something left to give

There’s nothing left to do with There’s nothing left to say Now they’re understanding, you’re always in the way This disillusion, it echoes in your head Starts dragging you down, down You wish that you were dead

Life, life is a drag at best So take a hit and hold your breath Let it slip away Light, light a cigarette Tell yourself you’re not done yet There’s something left to give

Love, hate Things you can’t escape So why you wanna change

Love, hate Things you can’t escape Why you wanna change What makes you so afraid

Life, life is a drag at best So take a hit and hold your breath Let it slip away Light, light a cigarette Tell yourself you’re not done yet There’s something left to give

The lead singer has a British accent as far as I can tell.
