lyrics

Wanna see if I can still make you smile
see if maybe we can rest awhile
head down to the lawer’s to deface our wills
share a 6-pack and a sleeping pill
cause we deserve better
we deserve better than this

Nine to five on an assembly line
if it weren’t for nickels we wouldn’t have a dime
love ain’t enough to keep you warm
when the furnace blows in a winter storm
cause we deserve better
we deserve better than this

How many years we count the days
how many friends lost along the way
lies underneath the bed
slaps upside the head
cause we deserve better
we deserve better than this

They say you get dealt a hand
and it you play it the best you can
well that SOB dealing from the bottom of the deck
I’m gonna find his ass I’m gonna wring his neck
cause we deserve better
we deserve better than this

My clothes don’t fit me anymore
so I’m wearing what my old man wore
refund missing my hair gone gray
one should leave but we’ll both stay
cause we deserve better
we deserve better than this

Everybody says to move real slow
but they don't care and they don't know
that I got no patience for the setting sun
this is how we do it where I come from
cause we deserve better
we deserve better than this
