Better Days

How's your life been ever since
The government came and took away all of your possessions?
How's your wife been? How's the kids?
Did you lose them in the fire or was that just all your friends?
Are you homeless? Are you broke?
Does the futon you've been sleeping on just reek of sweat and dope?
It's a shitshow, it's the life
Yeah, maybe you've seen some better days but it's gonna be alright

Lose a few pounds, trim down your beard
Don't quit your day job, and better luck next year

Are you paying all your bills?
Does the landlord take his payment now exclusively in pills?
Are you drinking just to sleep
With a 40 ounce in one hand in the middle of the street?
When life hits you like a truck
Does the fact you're even still alive mean you're all out of luck?
Does it get worse every day?
Yeah, maybe you've had some better times but it's gonna be okay

Lose a few pounds, trim down your beard
Don't quit your day job, and better luck next year

Everything's been going to Shittsburgh ever since you left me
