lyrics

So here we go again
Another day knee deep in grains
Earning just a fifth of what you pay
Not as if life let me have a say

Didn’t get a chance to educate
But I forged on for my children’s sake
Sent to school to earn above my rate
But they spent my sweat on bags instead

Just settle down somewhere
Put the kettle to boil and stare
At the paint peel off the walls
Why couldn’t we love what we had

And look at all these smiles
They bought with hunger, can’t walk a mile
In shoes I wore until they broke
Just sell my soul, the TV spoke

Didn’t get a chance to teach them well
Bent over my life was hell
Friends I knew saved up for age
I threw my life, in the cage

Just settle down somewhere
Put the kettle to boil and stare
At the paint peel off the walls
Why couldn’t we love what we had

As I write my memoirs
Forgiven but not forgotten
All of us at the table
Watch me make my life stable
