Lyrics

I went down to the corner store
just a young girl. what did i ask for?
I asked for a bottle for my old man
here's a five its been crumpled up
in my little hand

I cursed him out from behind the closed door
lookin for a fight, the kind i'd been raised for
the kind when you're down, you keep holdin' on
you keep pushin', until some blood is drawn

Well, they say this life is a hard one
but I wouldn't change it at all
I'm not gonna press my luck with some other hand
'cause its all from the same deck of cards

I'm looking for a plastic smile
or a book the size of my face
gotta be a way to hide from the gaze
of this eight ball seer
what can i say
that hasn't already been said
the people yell off with her head
in this land of fear

it was the same sidewalk, it was the same streets
it was the same driveways and the eastern forest trees
but the windows were vacant in my dreams
and grandma's house, well that was far
so I ran between the cars and the night was always green
but where all the neighbors when the monsters chased me

they say this life is a hard one
but I wouldn't change it at all
I'm not gonna press my luck with another hand
'cause its all from the same deck of cards

I went down to the corner store
lookin' for a fight, the kind i'd been raised for
the kind when you're down you keep holdin' on
you keep pushin' until some blood is drawn

they say this life is a hard one
but I wouldn't change it at all
I'm not gonna press my luck with another hand
'cause its all from the same deck of cards
