Barely Exist |
Well they said he was crazy |
Nobody ever said that much to him |
So he thought it could be true |
When he left his boy was eight years old |
Got a picture in his wallet, gonna show it to you |
Now kids that age on the playground are cruel, son |
Don’t let 'em see you cry |
You gotta be strong |
But when you got asbestos |
In your Kool Aid for breakfast |
There’s no good way to look alive |
No good way at all |
And when you barely exist |
You’re a long way from that |
And you’re a longer way from this |
When you barely exist |
Who’s gonna miss you when you’re gone? |
From a sandstorm in El Paso |
Out along the 10, to a mansion way up high |
She’s gonna teach your baby Spanish |
Rock her to sleep she will, hold her when she cries |
Now that kid might grow up to play in the symphony |
Or be the next LeBron James |
And that beats dying slowly in the heat |
On a cattle farm, a face without a name |
No two ways about it |
And when you barely exist |
You’re a long way from that |
And you’re a longer way from this |
When you barely exist |
Who’s gonna miss you when you’re gone? |
Well a billion dollars is a lot of money |
Just to keep people out |
What good’s it ever done? |
When you’re following a light so bright |
You’ve got to take it in |
Like taking air into your lungs |
On the border towns of death |
It’s hard to live with a big move on your back |
You pray for water on a moonless night |
Keep your head down, move for cover along the track |
And when you barely exist |
You’re a long way from that |
And you’re a longer way from this |
When you barely exist |
Who’s gonna miss you when you’re gone? |
