Woke up this morning, the sun in my eyes
Took a ten minute shower and put on my disguise
I walk down the stairs and I lock the door
Some siding falls down to remind me I’m poor
Not impressed and depressed I look up to the sky
Just one more reason to lay down and die
so i'm riding to work and the rain starts to fall
as i step off the bus and i'm late- damn it all
i walk into the store, take a deep breath and sigh
one of these days i'll just lay down and die
I got nothing-not a dime to my name
I got nothing-but a whole lot of shame
I got nothing-a little bit of dirt
I got nothing-cept a whole lotta hurt
the hours go by, my mind starts to wander
have we ruined our lives? i stop and i ponder
i say it's not so, but why should i lie
i'll just face the facts and lay down and die
I come home from work ain't no food on the table
Ain't no honey I’m home ain't no stove ain't no cable
just a head full of dreams and this roomful of lies
looks like its 'bout time to just lay down and die
I got nothing-not a dime to my name
I got nothing-just a whole lotta shame
I got nothing-a little bit of dirt
I got nothing-cept awhole lotta hurt
I got a husband that hates me and a pocket full of trash
I gotta pay rent but I don’t have the cash
we sit down to talk, he yells and i cry
all i wanna do is just lay down and die
I got nothing-not a dime to my name
I got nothing-but a whole lot of shame
I got nothing-a little bit of dirt
I got nothing-cept a whole lotta hurt
So now its time to go to bed
And I’m sleeping on the floor
This endless aggression
I can’t take it anymore
This shit has to stop
Why can’t you just try
or it's time to give up
come lay down and die |
