lyrics

i can't believe, it's come it to this, yet again/
i'm down and out, fucked and chucked, i been condemned/
they told me once, they told me twice, now it's all my fault/
they pushed me out, they shook me loose, they kicked me down/

you gotta scratch/
you gotta pound/

i can't believe, it's come it to this, yet again/
i paid my dues, i chomped my bit, i won't offend/
i'm working days, i'm working nights, but i'm losing ground/
i bit it off, i chewed it up, i held it down/

i swing a mighty hammer/
just to swat a fly/
i grab a graveyard shovel/
and dig until i die/

i can't believe, it's come it to this, yet again/
i play a game, i'll never win, i don't know why/
i started late, i finished last, don't stand a chance/
i'm givin' up, i'm dropping out, gonna burn out loud/
