Grievances – Daniel Johnston – letras

If I had my own wayYou’d be here with me todayBut I rarely have my own wayI guess that’s why you’re not here with me todayAnd the librarian saidYou can’t buy no respectI said hey lady what can you expectWhen I’m lying on the floorYou I love the lady but she don’t wanna beNo girl of mineWell the only thing you ever done for meWas help me waste my timeAnd I saw you at the funeralYou were standing there like a templeI said hi, how are you, helloAnd I pulled up a casket and crawled inYes, I didClimbed up a Mountain and I looked aroundSome kind of circus with all them clownsI said hey wait a minute can’t we slow down a bitAnd I almost got hit by a truckWell it just goes to show you that we’re all on our ownScrounging for our own share of good luckStab your brother in the backAnd pick up your pay checkGood-bye lonely heart Joleneyou never did work anyhowI’m looking for a nice girland I don’t want no cowI’m heading out WestGonna find me the bestWell I played the game but I failed the testIf I can’t be a lover then I’ll be a pestYes, I will
