Lyrics
I wanna tell you that I'm feeling bad
Took a long second look and yep, the story is sad
They wanna tell you that it's medicine
So now it's a pill it was a bottle of gin
They're talking crazy, kind of money you see
When your dreaming 'bout winning on the lottery
You got your payment w/ the coverage at hand
But you feel like dying 'cuz you know you can
Cuz you know you can
How can I salvage any of this?
I could not take one more twist
In the story that they sell
And they sell so well
Old man senior lost his leg to bomb
Things ain't been the same since Vietnam
Son's a little crazy, got a habit and a baby
Don't you think he can't see the setting sun
Calm the dog, there's trouble ahead
Doctor says that pretty soon you're gonna be dead
Trying to be strong, but I can not stand
And I feel like dying cuz I know I am
Cuz I know I am
