It's not the way that I want, it's just the way it is
Beyond the limit, beyond the limit
The landlord says he's gonna renovate the walls
Be prepared for a little noise but then the ceiling falls

So ya try to sleep with the pillow on your head
Toss, turn, start to burn, top floor lands in bed
You watch TV but there's nothing on the screen
Spotlight on the visual, nothing on the beam

Call the handy man to come fix your machine
He tells ya now your kitchen works but all your toast is green
That's the way it is, that's the way it really, really is
Beyond the limit, beyond the limit out there
That takes me away
