lyrics

Verses:

Reached in my pocket, a handful of pills
I eat them like candy so I don't feel ill
They're not prescription but don't be afraid
It's temporary me feeling this way

I work on the Sundays, I work through the night
Don't even bother to put up a fight
There's pain in the body, there's pain in the head
I'd love to see Europe before I'm dead

I tied me a rope in a noose around a tree
But I was too heavy, it broke down on me
I can't even kill myself even when I try
The worst part about it is I never learned to cry

They locked me inside their usual cage
Don't think about it, it's three meals a day
I'm partial to the smell of the wind in the fall
The leaves that are dying are the brightest of all

Chorus:

Have you ever been without money for long
They look down upon you to keep themselves strong
Have you ever had to resort to unusual ways
There's food on the table, forget about who paid
