lyrics

WELL I KNOW MY LIFE WOULD BE BETTER ON THEM WHITE KEYS
BUT I’VE GOT A MASTER WANTS TO BRING ME TO MY KNEES
I SEE MY LIFE JUST A SLIPPIN THROUGH THE CRACKS
WELL I’M BUSTED BACK DOWN AGAIN
MY MAMA SAID SHE’S SORT OF PROUD OF ME THE ONE DAY
BUT IF I DON’T PICK UP ON MY BOOT STRAPS SOMEDAY
OH THER’LL BE HELL TO PAY AROUND HERE BOY
SHE GOT THE WAY TO MAKE ME FEEL REAL DUMB
WELL IM BUSTED BACK DOWN AGAIN

AND IM BUSTED BACK DOWN INTO NOTHIN AGAIN
I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMIN SINCE I DON’T KNOW WHEN
YOU BURN A LOT OF TIME AND YOU SMOKE A LOT OF ENDS
WHEN YOUR’E BUSTED BACK DOWN AGAIN
YAWL BE SITTIN ROUND WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS

I’VE SEEN THAT LIFE I WANT ITS ON THE FRONT PAGE
BUT ITS MORE LIKE MY LIFE’S A VICTIM OF ROAD RAGE
I SEE MY LIFE JUST A FADIN INTO BLACK
WELL IM BUSTED BACK DOWN AGAIN
AND MY BABYS SO CRAZY BOUT ME SHE SAID I COULD DO IT MY WAY
JUST AS LONG AS I GOT THAT RENT PAID BY FRIDAY
OH SHE CAN BE DIABOLICAL MAN
SHE GOT THE WORDS TO PUT ME ON MY BACK
WELL IM BUSTED BACK DOWN AGAIN

AND IM BUSTED BACK DOWN INTO NOTHIN AGAIN

DO YOU WANT TO FIND A JOB/YOU DON’T WANNA GO TO WORK
LIKE A REGULAR SLOB/JUST LIKE ANY OTHER JERK
IT’S THE AMERICAN DREAM/SON YOU BETTER WAKE UP
OH YOU BETTER WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP

I GOTTA FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN
SOMEHOW TO BE SATISFIED WITH THE SEEDS THAT I’VE SEWN
WELL NOW I SEE MY LIFE AND I JUST WANT TO TAKE IT ALL BACK

AND IM BUSTED BACK DOWN INTO NOTHIN AGIAN
