about

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS...

lyrics

"Time heals all pain," I recall somebody once told me.
I have myself to blame - accepting what they sold me.
Assistance cuts means taking back control and purpose.
They want me off my @ss - seek my own social service.
This first request begins with standard procedure
Reach for the sky, welcome to my first adventure.

THERE'S NO WAY AROUND IT - HURRY, HAND IT OVER.
I'M COLLECTING TAX DIRECTLY - FROM THE WELL-REFINED
TRY NOT TO LOOK SO "AGHAST" - LET'S GET THIS OVER!
TOO LATE TRYING TO MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND!

Door to door in search of friends when I was younger
I learned how capable I am to feed my hunger
Life gets tough, it's up to me to make mine better.
A mental coat would fit me cozy like a sweater.
Last year my part-time job's cut - claimed I burden the nation
Now I'm private sector and I'm helping job creation.

I'M TIRED OF BEING CALLED THE BAD GUY, FUKCING HAND IT OVER.
I'M NOT COLD AND CALLOUS BUT LOOK IN THESE EYES
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT REFUSING HELP I NEED FOR MY FAMILY
THAT'S ALL I NEEDED TO HEAR, NOW YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE!!!!!

13 years of time invested in my education
14 schools I figured I'm an aberration
Finally came a time to stop making connections
Cause when they're gone they always felt just like rejections
I testify through time with drinks and medication
These bills are due I need some cash for compensation
Business that profits courts exempt them of their crimes,
NOW I'M IN BUSINESS AND I'LL TRADE YOUR DOLLARS FOR MY DIMES!!

WISE LAST SECOND DECISION TURNING EVERYTHING OVER
NOW I BET YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT THAT PAIN INSIDE
I'LL LEVEL WITH YOU - OFF THE RECORD - NOW OUR TRANSACTION'S OVER
RELAX AND TAKE SOME SHOTS OF WHISKEY, IT WILL HEAL IN TIME!!!
