Grievances (Daniel Johnston - Songs of Pain)
7/20/2007 If I had my
own way You'd be
here with me today But I
rarely have my own way I guess
that's why you're not here with me today And the
librarian said 'You can't buy no respect' I said,
‘Hey, lady, what can you expect When I'm
lying on the floor?’ Well I love
the lady but you don't wanna be No girl of
mine Well the
only thing you ever done for me Was help me
waste my time And I saw
you at the funeral You were
standing there like a temple I said ‘Hi!
How are you? Hello!’ And I
pulled up a casket and crawled in Yes, I did Climbed up
a Mountain and I looked around Some kind
of circus with all them clowns I said hey
wait a minute can't we slow down a bit And I
almost got hit by a truck Well it
just goes to show you that we're all on our own Scrounging
for our own share of good luck Stab your
brother in the back And pick up
your pay check Good-bye
lonely heart drawings You never
did work anyhow I'm looking
for a nice girl And I don't
want no cow I'm heading
out West Gonna find
me the best Well, I
played the game but I failed the test If I can't
be a lover then I'll be a pest Yes, I will
