LIFE JUST AINT WHAT ITS CUT OUT TO BE.
NOT MUCH HAPPINESS,TOO MUCH SICKNESS AND DISEASE.
DAY AFTER DAY,WE WORK BY THE HOUR.
IF WE HAVE TO STAY LATE, THEN OUR TEMPER GETS SOUR.
IF THE JOB IS NOT DONE, IN THE TIME THATS ALLOTTED,
YOURE BRANDED AS TOO SLOW, AND YOUR RECORD GETS BLOTTED.
KEEPING THIS UP FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE,
CAN ONLY CAUSE MUCH MORE MISERY AND STRIFE.
LIFE MUST HOLD MORE THAN THIS DAILY COMMOTION.
BUT IF I COMPLAIN, IM TOLD THATS A FOOL NOTION.
WHY KEEP ON GOING AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?
I CAN ONLY SEE REASONS TO STAY IN DESPAIR.
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE SOME PEOPLE HAVE MUTTERED,
WHILE LOCKING THE DOORS AND NAILING THE SHUTTERS.
SOMETHING IM CERTAIN IS PASSING ME BY.
I CANT FIGURE WHAT AND I SURE DONT KNOW WHY.
THERES A REASON FOR LIVING AND ALSO FOR DYING.
ITS THE LATTER ONE NOW THAT I FEEL MORE LIKE TRYING.
IVE POURED OUT MY HEART NOW, THATS ALL I WILL SAY.
ILL TRY SMILING TOMORROW, FOR ITS A NEW DAY.
