Chin Music for the Unsuspecting Hero Lyrics

Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor
Got all of my papers out and read them
Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long
Yeah, the desert can be hot if you waste it
Took a stab in the dark and missed again I...

    The real lyrics are Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor
    Got all of my papers out and read them
    Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long
    Yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted
    Took a stab in the dark and missed again I believe
    The hardest part is not seein' what I used to see
    My faith grew to a top but worry does all it can
    To whisper in both my ears make-believe stories

    Where are my friends now?
    They're not around when I need them
    I cannot pretend
    I find myself against all the odds again

    Well I like to think I'm strong and then I'm proven wrong
    Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
    Yeah showed up late, got screamed in my face
    Turn around, I'm punch drunk, but I'm laughin'
    Got some thoughts in my chest, they're playin' games with my head
    Ten hours of sleep, I'm in my bed again
    Scream up to my God, say, "I do what I can"
    How am I gonna move on from this circumstance?

    Where are my friends now?
    They're not around when I need them
    I cannot pretend
    I find myself against all the odds again

    Yeah, yeah
    I'm against all the odds again
    [x4]

    And I believe this song is about how it was for mark foster when he was addicted to heroin and like it says his friends aren't around when he real needs them but he's overcoming everything against all the odds

    i think it is an "anthem" for people who are having a bad day or even their year is pretty awful. they might do little things that make all the matter and this song is for them
