I get up in the mornin' with a face I don't know 
Stare out the window while my coffe goes cold 
It never gets old 
Lines on my face gettin' clearer each day 
I don't give a dawn what my friends all say 
It doesn't matter anyway

Gonna keep on keepin' on 

I make no excuses for the way that I live 
I never have, I never did - and that's the way it is 
'Cos I march to the beat of a different drum 
It's gotta be loud or ain't no fun

Life's what ya make it, and I ain't gonna waste it 
Gonna reach out and take it now 
I get up in the mornin' with a face I don't know 
Stare out the window while my coffe goes cold....
