Grievances
(Daniel Johnston - Songs of Pain)
7/20/2007
If I had my
own way
You'd be
here with me today
But I
rarely have my own way
I guess
that's why you're not here with me today
And the
librarian said
'You can't
buy no respect'
I said,
‘Hey, lady, what can you expect
When I'm
lying on the floor?’
Well I love
the lady but you don't wanna be
No girl of
mine
Well the
only thing you ever done for me
Was help me
waste my time
And I saw
you at the funeral
You were
standing there like a temple
I said ‘Hi!
How are you? Hello!’
And I
pulled up a casket and crawled in
Yes, I did
Climbed up
a Mountain and I looked around
Some kind
of circus with all them clowns
I said hey
wait a minute can't we slow down a bit
And I
almost got hit by a truck
Well it
just goes to show you that we're all on our own
Scrounging
for our own share of good luck
Stab your
brother in the back
And pick up
your pay check
Good-bye
lonely heart drawings
You never
did work anyhow
I'm looking
for a nice girl
And I don't
want no cow
I'm heading
out West
Gonna find
me the best
Well, I
played the game but I failed the test
If I can't
be a lover then I'll be a pest
Yes, I will
