about
Do you ever get the feeling that you're stuck in a rut? Why we gotta be broke down?
lyrics
I go to work
And I lift the stones
And I break my bones yeah
And I watch the clock
Tick after tock
And I hold the rock yeah
And you see my eye
And you wonder why
I don’ t start to cry yeah
And I know what’s mine
And I toe the line
So I can drink the wine yeah
We all stand in this world alone
Tryin’ to catch our rollin’ stone
I feel like a stranger in this town
Why I gotta be broke down
I roll the dice
And I pay the price
For me to get my slice yeah
And I take advice
And I find my life
Is still cold as ice yeah
And this is the way
That I’ve lived my days
Since I was born yeah
And by the time
That I close my eyes
I get up in the morning
And you understand
When you shake my hand
That I’m an angry man yeah
And I fight to stand
So I can be the man
In my little plan yeah
And I hold my own
And wait by the phone
‘til all hope is gone yeah
not just a pawn
and I await the dawn
to keep keepin’ on yeah
we all stand in this world alone
tryin’ to catch our rollin’ stone
I feel like a stranger in this town
Why I gotta be broke down
I send this message to the man
Can you look me in the eye?
Tell the truth
I’ve heard the lies
Tell me why I gotta be broke down
