ME

"ME"


My moms on drugs
My dads a cop
My brothers in prison
Where will it stop?

My sister got a divorce
My moms had six
I guess that's one way
For her to get her kicks

My other sister is great
She's really alright
She is in Arkansas
Way outta sight

I am 20 yrs. old
Just this year
Whole life in front of me
Nothing to fear

Holding on to that low-paying job
Keeps me living & feeling
Just like a slob
Got no family
Doesn't seem fair
Just keep going
No time to care

Got a girlfriend
But she's never there
I always wait
I'm always here
Sink all my money
Into my truck
I'm to the point
Where I don't give a fuck

I know there are people
Worse off than me
But I have to wonder...
"How can that be"?

I haven't lived long enough
To know what's up
Everyone figures
I'm still just a pup

This world is a trip
I can't figure it out
I'm a problem child
Without a doubt

A fuck-up for sure
Branded for life
Couldn't get my own
So I stole his wife

Sometimes I feel
I'm loosing this fight
But I'll keep living
Trying to do it right

Used to want a baby
How can that be?
She'd just grow up crazy
Just like me
