i try to focus on the good but am reminded of how bad it is
every time the mail comes, the phone rings food stamps get cut high unemployment
everybody so busy lookin for that job
that the american dream is just a product thats bought

no head start when i gt into this game
dr4eamin big workin hard for the paper and fame
only to find it was a road paved with casting couches
that are unavailable past 28

What's a life without music
i cant give up on my dream i wont surive through it
ive never known anything else im so scared of movin on
whats a life without the strength to carry on

I feel so overwhelmed i feel like a failure
lookin into my dogs eyes wondering who im gonna find to take care of her
every opportuniyt i had i tried my best
but i burned all of my bridges fucked up my credit
it just tears me apart i fucked up from the start
-chorus-

I was my mom's mom and my mom at age 9
picked up that guitar to get through those hard times
shoulda known better when I turned 18
ex con hookin to pay the priorities

and what happened to that 50K tour
with bo diddley as my mentor
been in space so long cant find my way back to the world
