All the work and prayers burn
A waste of sweat and breath
God turns his deaf ear to me
Like I'm the one that doesn't exist
I never saw my mother cry
Because she was working the 5 to 9
Life is pulling through
We pulled through
Please don't put flowers on my casket
I'm not ready to be buried yet
I'll never see a penny from this record sale
Snatching shit off Wal Mart shelves
It's hard to eat with empty pockets
Who can explain to me why none of us have a fucking thing?
Malnutrition sinking in
Depression is reigning king
Tell me why I should not give up all hope
My prayers were never answered
Nothing filled my empty hands
That's when I realized god either hated me
Or was a fucking lie
All the work and prayers burn
A waste of sweat and breath
God turns his deaf ear to me
Like I'm the one that doesn't exist
All the work and prayers burn
A waste of sweat and breath
God turns his deaf ear to me
Like I'm the one that doesn't exist
No insurance
No education
No bright future
Unless I'm hanging from a camouflage rope
Life is pulling through
I'm hopeless
Please don't put flowers on my casket
I'm not ready to be buried yet
Everything I have I've stolen
Why should I compromise my freedom?
Faith built on lies
You've turned on me
Fuck god
Fuck government
