Текст пісні
The berk is the one who just can't get it right
Though he struggles and fights as a child he knows
There is always something greater than he
One day he is up the next he is down
He listens to all but none can be found
To pull him from his misery
The hole just gets deeper as life keeps him down
The berk has a wandering eye
He trusts in people though people mislead
He follows them blindly and does the misdeed
He struggles and fights his whole life through
But in the end there's not much to do
He falls on his face again and again
The berk is a fool to such a bitter end
He's happy He's sad He's angry He's mad
He knows no limits; his life is extreme
Without a doubt the berk is misled again
Down another long path that he has never been
He slips and he slides and falls on his face
Then he slides some more as he falls from grace
For an instant of time the berk comes to his senses
If God were looking down He'd mend all my fences
Then in just the blink of his eye
He moves on without a lingering thought
Of the revelation that he just wrought
He burns his bridges wherever he goes
He forgets the ones he knows
His mind is always closed
After he falls He climbs back to his feet
A moment later He's back on the beat
He's already forgotten the plight He's come through
He's happy now that's all that's important
What to do?
Now is now and then is then
He's never learned a lesson
The walls just get higher as his heart grows cold
Now that he is getting old
The worms begin to eat at his mind
What is life? He considers for a time
Then he awakens from his dream
Oh it's only a dream he says to himself
Another cold day in December
Just another cold day in December
He was the one who just couldn't get it right
Though he struggled and fought as a child he knew
