Piece Of Work

(álbum: Salvation City - 2014)

I used to fight with my mother, she'd throw my shit out the door
She said I'm tired of your drinking, don't wanna see it no more
I said mother dear mother, please help me repent
She just went to Church, I started drinking again

Cause I'm a piece of work, just a head-on car wreck
You can't take me nowhere, cause I still can't dress
Some say I'm a younging, a little wet behind the ears
I'll be the same waste of time, to live a thousand years

Well I like to get high, go and sleep in the van
On an old cradle mattress, that ain't fit for a man
When it all starts to leave me, well I'll toss and I'll turn
Then I'll reach for the matches, find roaches to burn

Cause I'm a piece of work, just a head-on car wreck
You can't take me nowhere Lord, cause I still can't dress
Some say I'm a younging, a little wet behind the ears
I'll be the same waste of time, to drink a thousand beers

Well yeah when your whiskers turn gray and knees hurt when it rains, I'll still be tapping in time
All because I was brave and didn't act my age, and sang a few songs that don't rhyme

Cause I'm a piece of work, just a head-on car wreck
You can't take me nowhere, cause Lord knows I still can't dress
Yeah some say I'm a younging, a little wet behind the ears
I'll be the same waste of time, to drink a thousand beers

Oh the same waste of time, to drink a thousand beers
