Bring the loot back home and spend it all.
Spend it all down at the local strip mall.
Play the befuddled fool for yet another week
and sit around playing king shit with the meek.
Run a prayer steep to the higher ups
and sit around drinking from your plastic cups.
Play your six string till your fingers bleed
and find something else you've come to need.
Cry in the middle of the night to ease your pain
and deal with your family bordering on the insane.
Just enjoy the warmth of you all together
and just pray through all the stormy weather.
Live on a prayer till you awake tomorrow
and forget your lingering pain and sorrow.
So live up to your ever long life description
and just sit back and read the hidden inscription.
Ask yourself am I all I want
or is it my past come to haunt?
Am I who all I ever dreamed of being
or is this just a dream I'm really seeing?
