about

gospel uplift to a friend, any friend, myself, when things look dark

lyrics

JUST LIVIN'

can't just livin'
do the job
make you happy
alone in the mob
small things matter
they all are free
love n yr crazy friends
are all ya ever need

come on up
oh get back in it, baby
oh ya got it

a crappy single room
no child support
10 joint's a day
it ain't just a sport
yr finger on the trigger
a whisky in yr gut
yr goin' t hell
n yr runnin' outa luck
notice at yr job
ya signed on for another
but it ain't comin' thru
yr trapped like a sucker…
yr runnin' in place
ain't even in th race
a dead-end road
w a smile on yr face

come on up
oh get back in it, baby
oh ya got it

ya jus' turned 45
got nuthin' t show
ya ain't left th city
yr jacket is a joke
yr running' on fumes
th kind that ya can drink
n yr bike has a flat
n yr standin' at the brink
it ain't easy bein' you
like a rat in a trap
yr teeth are all yellow
n yr getting' really fat…
ya got a cigarette cough
n ya ain't a gettin' taller
yr heat been shut off
n yr brain is full o' water
