The story as it was told to me,
when I was young and much more naive.
You make it home son, you’ll have it all.
And now I’m here, and where’d it all go?
Went to war then got through college,
chased a good job, down the toilet.
It ain’t what you know, it’s only who you blow,
if you ain’t getting on your knees, you’re working for the man.
Maybe in another life things will be different, far better than the one you got.
Maybe in another life, you might be happy, but I wouldn’t hold my breath to long.
You pray to God and all the holy saints, like every day, and now you’re cursing, and you’re filled with complaints
you never could win,
you just can’t,
you faceplant.
My heart goes out to all of the folks who
will hang a gold star out on their window,
I hope that sacrifice ain’t in vain.
Another suicide every day.
Went to war, then got through college,
chased a good job down the toilet.
I was on the beach and lounging in the sun,
they kicked sand in my fucking teeth,
I’m working for the man.
Maybe in another life, things will be different. Far better than the one you got.
Maybe in another life, you might be happy, but I wouldn’t hold my breath too long.
You pray to God and all the holy saints,
like every day, and now you’re cursing, and you’re filled with complaints
you never could win,
you just can’t,
you face plant.
You better run till’ your dying day,
cause when you break, I’ll be there to dig your grave.
You never could win,
you just can’t,
you faceplant.
You never could win.
