The Day I Tried to Live (Soundgarden cover) Lyrics
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
I should have stayed in bed
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
Just like you

This is just a cover of the Soundgarden song on Superunknown ...
I like the use of screaming in the chorus and such, but I was disappointed by the clean singing in the verses, partially because Cornell's voice is so nice, and partially because I've heard Rogers do better than that, still a good song though.
this song is fucking incredible, btbam > soundgarden
