You can't force it 

can you 

you believe this day will be different 

but it rarely is 

you go to the same places 

do the same things 

get tempted by everything but the right things 

like that song says doing the right things makes him feel bad.

We all want to do the wrong things and wallow in the pain it brings

like a big hippo splashing around in the mud 

happy as a pig in shit

cest moi la couchon dans la merde
