Human Lottery – Echolyn – letras

We bought into the promise of a better, greener dayThat 7 years would buy us a piece of tomorrow’s dreamWe took it all for granted we were always to be richWe could own what we made but owe more than we makeSo, brother, could you spare a dimeFor a cup of coffee or a smoke to pass the timeWhile I’m waiting in this God-forsaken lineOf human lottery to shine, just shineUsed to be important in a white collar jobUsed to make good money, now I’m lucky getting byMy wife is almost frantic, I’m too old for other workIf you can’t do something for me, I’m bound to kill myselfBrother, it’s not like me to askBut I’m running short of everythingAnd nothing coming fastWhen work is all I really needFrom this God-forsaken line to shine, just shineMad with the impossible – out of chaos is our dreamToo heavy for wings – we will sink beneath its weightIf I could only use my head as a candle for the Holy GhostSing for the corpses, « Happy Days Are Here Again »
