lyrics

Well I won’t leave, as clean (as) I came here, sounds fair
Got a rap sheet, some bad ink, had an affair & lost some hair
Ev-ryone wants to blame me & as bad as I wanna blame them
You can’t have a pretty spring, without three shitty seasons
I just wanna break even

My Ex knew, of a friend who, had a line on some easy money
Wound up guilty, of a few things I didn’t wanna be but nobody wants to be
& I hate the hand I was dealt but there’s no chance I’ll beat it
So I’ll keep my hands to myself, ’til we’re out back - then I’ll steal it
I just wanna break even

There are times I’ve been cheated
Other Times I’ve felt conceited
But Nothing ever stays in season
I just want to break even
Even though I can’t catch a break
Oh Wont you just gimme a break?

As I stepped off, the ledge on, high level, where the broken meet the devil
Heard a cop warn, from his bull horn, you gotta think of, all of your loved ones
Thinkin’ bout what I put them thru is the reason why I’m leaving
So when I die, don’t cry, make sure my baby is eating
Have a good time don’t ask why, so long as my mom takes it easy
 Funerals ain’t for the dead they’re for the people grieving
& I’m just dying to break even
