CLittle did I know it tFhen
The pAmictures on the heads of Gpins
‘BCe easier than livinFg is
GEasier to watch you die
CLost what little luck was Fleft
It’Ams not enough to pay thGe rent
CNot enough to force reFpentance
GNot enough to make you pray
FAnd don’t telGl me ‘boutC the sinsF of man
AmI’ve felt the sGting of God’s rigCht hand
I find him after school in bed
And don’t know if he’s drunk or dead
A slow but steady breath means
Live to wreck another day
It’s terrible to cross my mind
That I should do him in this time
And I could find a better life
Become a burden on the state
You can’t run when it’s all you know
You’ll just have to wait to go
(Guitar just plays C for the bridge)
And you can’t hurt me ‘cause I’ve been true
Your horrid life caught up to you
But I got bruises that you can’t see
If there’s a god, take him from me.
End on C
