Grievances
(专辑: Songs Of Pain - 1981)
If I
had my own way, you'd be with me here today But I
rarely have my own way, I
guess that's why you're not here with me today And the
librarian said 'you can't buy no respect' I
said "hey lady, what can you expect when I'm lying on the
floor?" You're a
lovely lady but you don't wanna be no girl of mine Well, the
only thing you ever done for me was help me waste my time And I
saw you at the
funeral; you were standing there like a
temple I
said "hi, how are you, hello" and I
pulled up a
casket and crawled in. Yes, I
did Climbed up a
mountain, and I
looked around... some kind of circus with all them clowns I
said 'hey wait a
minute, can't we slow down a
bit' and I
almost got hit by a
truck Well, it just goes to show you that we're all on our own, scrounging for our own share of good luck Stab your brother in the
back and pick up your paycheck Goodbye, lonely-heart drawings, you never did work anyhow I'm looking for a
nice girl and I
don't want no cow I'm heading out west; gonna find me the
best Well, I
played the
game, but I
failed the
test If I
can't be a
lover, then I'll be a
pest. Yes, I
will...
