Beyond The Limit – Lyrics

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
Then the ceiling falls
So ya try to sleep with the pillow on your head
Toss n turn – start to burn
The top floor lands in bed

It’s not the way that you want
It’s just the way it is
Beyond the limit
Beyond the limit

You watch tv but there’s nothing on the screen
Spotlight on the visuals – nothing on the beam
So ya call the handy man to come fix your machine
He tells ya now your kitchen works but all your toast is green

It’s not the way that you want
It’s just the way it is
Beyond the limit
Beyond the limit
