The only thing I ever made in my life was a fist
The only thing that ever proved that I exist
Broken glass looks best when the sun's goin down
Take it from me, I'm broken too
And there's lots of us around
Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door
Like the time I fell in love into someone else
Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say when it rains you know it always pours
Like hearing no again and slamming of doors
I've been alone, I've been together, I'd been lost
Making my decisions, with the coins that I toss
The slower they walk, you know the harder it gets
Shoulda, woulda, coulda, sketches all our regrets
Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door
Like the time I fell in love into someone else
Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say when it rains you know it always pours
Like hearing no again and slamming of doors
Enjoying myself has just been an afterthought
I never doubted the teachers, just the lessons they taught
If I couldn't fill my stomach, I'd fill my head
But I never could fill the word that I said
Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door
Like the time I fell in love into someone else
Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say when it rains you know it always pours
Like hearing no again and slamming of doors
Slamming of doors doors doors

Flotsam and Jetsam è una band di thrash metal formatasi a Phoenix, Arizona nel 1982. Considerati uno dei pilastri del genere, hanno contribuito a definire il suono thrash degli anni '80 con riff veloci e aggressivi, testi oscuri e un'energia live travolgente. Il gruppo ha attraversato diverse formazioni nel corso della sua carriera, ma la presenza costante di Eric A.K. (voce) e Michael Gilbert (chitarra) ha mantenuto una coerenza sonora distintiva. Tra i loro album più importanti figurano "Doomsday for the Deceiver" (1986), considerato un classico del thrash metal, e "No Place for Disgrace" (1989). Flotsam and Jetsam hanno collaborato con artisti come Testament e Slayer, contribuendo a plasmare la scena musicale heavy metal degli anni '80 e '90. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Hammer Smashed Face", "Suicidal State of Mind" e "The Price of War".
