Lyrics Hitting The Wall - Cows

Hitting The Wall

I woke up today, this morning,
I’m bloody, I’m beaten,
I find that I have been robbed
They took my shoes, my wallet,
I’m still drunk, I say «fuck it!»
I go to my job
Then my boss, he fires me for no good reason
No reason at all
He says «if you come back I will call a policeman»
I’m hitting the wall
So I call home, say «dad, I’m robbed,
I’m fired, I need money, I need money bad!»
He says «that's bullshit! you’re lying! I know you
Need money? too fuckin' bad!»
He says «son, you gotta get out there and fight, man!
Compete and stand tall»
I say «dad, that’s the trouble with your whole damn
White man,
I’m hitting the wall»
So I’m walking, there’s kids behind me
They’re laughing, they throw rocks at me
I start running, they chase me
They’re coming, they’re gaining
They’re gonna get me
Now there’s no answer to this I can think up
I’m taking a fall
So I duck into a bar, sit back and drink up
I’m hitting the wall
Then later three big guys, they poke me
They wake me, they say «boy you’d better pay»
I pull out my pockets, they don’t laugh, they punch me
They kick me, I’m out the hard way
I’m laying by a dumpster drunk and beaten
With nothing at all
People point at me and say I’m sickening
I’m hitting the wall
