Like The Rest Of Us

see i've been here for thirty some years
lookin at myself in the same dirty mirror
so it ain't like i don't comprehend
open that bottle and swallow that friend
no crime to take a little too much
got time to drink away a few months
got a little ******* habit
but he says he only does it
if somebody else has it
go do that *******t do that *******t lady
she went vegetarian for the baby
third trimester see the kid kick
she showed me outside
when she gave me a cigarette
*******t there's no way to measure it
but not every pony grows up to be a pegasus
you gotta let people be hypocrites
count your blessings and mind your business
stuck with yourself like the rest of us
dirt gets done and then we back to dust
runnin' in place sun in my face
let me fly away heaven won 't wait
stuck with yourself like the rest of us
dirt gets done and then we back to dust
runnin' in place sun in my face
let me fly away heaven won't wait
heaven won't wait let me fly away
getting no way everyday
just tryin to keep my mind on work
it's like
that's the only way to love this life on earth
it's like
everyone takes number one in the race
'cause we all keep running in place
here kitty kitty can't train that fox
must be drinkin' that name brand scotch
all of us cut from the same damn cloth
some of us never cut the price tags off
she ended up on a pole
with her heels pointin'
at a jesus she used to know
stripped down to her naked body
we made her drown in a lake full of patriarchy
andin between the pride and the misery
with an infinite supply of sympathy
are these invisible walls that hold me
like this goldfish bowl is the whole sea, see?
stuck with yourself like the rest of us
dirt gets done and then we back to dust
runnin' in place sun in my face
let me fly away heaven won't wait
stuck with yourself like the rest of us
dirt gets done and then we back to dust
runnin' in place sun in my face
let me fly away heaven won't wait
heaven won't wait let me fly away
getting no way everyday
