Life Sucks
They say that life, just a dream,
Yet tis a nightmare so here my scream
Old and broke and in despair
I look around, no one to care.
Fled down the street, turned about
No one was there, no way out
all is vain, constant pain
pay the bills, still more debt,
All my life filled with regret
How many ways can I say
Life's unfair my friend, life's not fair!
As soon as I get on top
The rug pulls out, I'm a flop
It's all a lie, you cannot win
Not fair I cry my friend, Not fair!

I was born, My mother died,
For a year I wailed and cried
For lack of care I too
Almost died.
Life dumped on me I cry,unfair!
So here I am old and frail,
I looked, there was no mail
No one comes, no one cares,
I got loneliness on my mind.
If I take these sleeping pills
I wonder if they kills
this deep loneliness on my mind.
Wish you could be here all the time,
Got deep down loneliness on my mind.
If there was a solution I could find,
I would want you part of it all the time.
If I had you to hug I'd be okay.
For my love with you so entwined
It seems to be almost divined
That united thee with me
Oe'rflows my soul, pure ecstasy.
they say that life, just a dream,
Yet tis a nightmare. Here my scream
Old and broke and in despair
I look around , no one to care
Fled down the street, turned about
No one was there, no way out
all is vain, constant pain
pay the bills, still more debt,
All my life filled with regret
How many ways can I say
Life sucks my friend, life sucks!
As soon as i get on top
the rug pulls out, I'm a flop
It's all a lie, you cannot win
Life sucks my friend, life sucks!
I was born, My mother died,
For a year I wailed and cried
For lack of care I too
Almost died.
Life sucks my friend, life sucks!
So here I am old and frail,
I looked, there was no mail,
Nothing from any one has come,
My poor life is so humdrum.
Life sucks my friend, life sucks!
