Grievances |
| If I had my own way |
| You’d be with me here today |
| But I rarely have my own way |
| I guess that’s why you’re not here with me today |
| And the librarian said |
| 'You can’t buy no respect' |
| I said, ‘Hey, lady, what can you expect |
| When I’m lying on the floor?' |
| You’re a lovely lady but you don’t wanna be |
| No girl of mine |
| Well the only thing you ever done for me |
| Was help me waste my time |
| And I saw you at the funeral |
| You were standing there like a temple |
| I said ‘Hi! |
| How are you? |
| Hello!' |
| And I pulled up a casket and crawled in |
| Yes, I did |
| Climbed up a mountain and I looked around |
| Some kind of circus with all them clowns |
| I said hey wait a minute can we slow down a bit |
| And I almost got hit by a truck |
| Well it just goes to show you that we’re all on our own |
| Scrounging for our own share of good luck |
| Stab your brother in the back |
| And pick up your paycheck |
| Good-bye lonely heart drawings |
| You never did work anyhow |
| I’m looking for a nice girl |
| And I don’t want no cow |
| I’m heading out west |
| Gonna find me the best |
| Well, I played the game but I failed the test |
| If I can’t be a lover then I’ll be a pest |
| Yes, I will |
