When I look back on my life
\nto see what’s comin’ next
\nAll I see is more unpaid bills
\nmore bad checks and auto wrecks<\/p>\n
Won’t someone help me please
\nJesus, get my feet back in the right tracks
\nwon’t someone help me please
\nCan’t everyone see that this wasn’t supposed to
\nhappen to me<\/p>\n
I’d be fadin’ away
\nin the smoggy sun of Californ-i-a
\nIf I had my Way
\nIf I had my way<\/p>\n
But this place got a hold on me
\ntighter than Alcatraz
\nand it ain’t got half the charm
\nthat I’ve heard that Alcatraz has<\/p>\n
My teeth are fallin’ out
\nand my liver’s going bad
\nmy wife’s gained 500 pounds
\nand my daughter has been had<\/p>\n
by every two bit piece of scum
\nin a low life rat bag town
\nthat’s known for its loser
\nbut then as my wife tells me every night as she
\n crawls in bed next to me
\nhoney<\/p>\n
beggars can’t be choosers
\nwe’re just natural born losers
\nwe’ve been losing since the day we were born
\nwe’ll be losing til the day we die<\/p>\n
some of us was born to win
\nand others just to wonder why<\/p>\n
beggars can’t be choosers…<\/p>\n
Won’t someone help me please
\nJesus, get my feet back in the right tracks
\nwon’t someone help me please
\nCan’t everyone see that this wasn’t supposed to
\nhappen to me<\/p>\n
I’d be fadin’ away
\nin the smoggy sun of Californ-i-a
\nIf I had my Way
\nIf I had my way<\/p>\n
