Everyday Lyrics - Gil Scott-heron

Mmmmm 

I can't seem to find 

the words to say (to say) 

I don't have strength to play the games 

you need to play (to play) 

Every day I seem to be running from the truth 

I ask myself questions but it just ain't no use 

'Cause it seems no matter, no matter, what I try to do 

I'm still loving and living, lying and losing 

Every day (Yeah, every day) 

I've got a job 

And to say the least 

It don't mean a thing (it don't mean a thing) 

It don't begin to compare 

With the hurt and pair that I've seen (I've seen) 

Sometimes I know I can't tell wrong from right 

I don't seem to know day from night 

It's no wonder that the whole world uptight 

They're just loving and living, lying and losing 

Every day (Yeah, every day) 

Stop on the way home 

From work to have a drink 

Just to give myself a little time to think 

'Cause it seems that more and more I start to realize 

That the truth that I wanted 

The love that I needed 

Has somehow disappeared before my eyes 

I can't seem to find the words I need to say (to say) 

I can't find strength enough to play the games you need, you need to play (to play) 

'Cause every day you got me, got me running from the truth 

And no matter, no matter what I try to do 

It seems that somehow it just ain't no use 

I'm still loving and living, lying and losing 

Can't seem to remember 

God it's so confusing 

I'm still loving and living, lying and losing 

Every day (Yeah, every day)
