It's 9AM and I already want to break shit
Waking up to feelings of disappointment
Your berating carries a painful sting
Words with the force of a verbal flogging
Too short too dumb, just gonna fail
I try playing catch up but I’m chasing my tail
One step behind, I'll never get ahead
From this morning's pot of coffee til the day I'm dead
Dissected to find out why I turned out wrong
Your poking and prodding fucked me up all along
Can't take these standards you put on me
Can't cope with this responsibility
Gotta get back on my feet
When will I make ends meet?
I’m blind with rage by 5:30
Feeling worthless enough to wrap my car around a tree
I give it my all, work my hands to the bone
But in the end I always end up cold and alone
I can shower you in silver, but you’ll always ask for gold
Enough disapproval can make anyone fold
One step behind, I'll never get ahead
From the end of my shift til the day I’m dead
I’ll never make ends meet
World has brought me to my knees
