Dissolute

A Few Dollars Short

Dissolute


Waking up at the crack of dawn 
I aint seein the sun today 
working my hands raw 
for a boot in the ass and lousy pay 
no room to get cut slack 
ive gotta keep clothes on my broken back 
All i know is failure 
I've wandered too far off of track 

uncertain, unwilling 
dont wanna sing the same old song 
each days more unfulfilling 
another chance to prove im wrong 
theres nothing i can do 
to change your stubborn mind 
cant you see im trying 
or are you that fucking blind? 

tremors in my fingers 
tell me the days comin to an end 
pour on my funeral, baby 
no plans to make amends 

i have my share of sins 
that i still pay for till this day 

take everything ive ever had 
nothing i own is mine alone 
you've taken all ive ever known 

ive given every ounce of patience a man can have, 
and gotten back every excuse in the book, 
ive tried and tried to keep my life from crumbling at the touch,but it seems like im just asking for too fucking much 

Given all that I thought I had, but I'm still (just a few dollars short) 
Given all that I've ever had, but im still just a few dollars short
