I'm just like any man really
I got what every man has
A heart that beats strong

Get my heart rate up to about 170
When I'm running or jogging

Always run on an incline
I don't look like much
Not that strong or big
I don't take much pride in my body

Just a plain earth body
But it's how much heart you have

Still there is something about me

I can just run and run and
I don't seem to get tired
I didn't even sleep last night

I'm looking out for me
And I'm surviving

And I still can't pay the bills
And I'm 30!
And I have lived in this home for 17 years
Got $237 dollars in the bank account
****!  lol

I'm just happy I have a car
And food to eat
I'm not looking to get rich

One thing
One thing I always tried to be good
To be kind to people
To show love to people

I'm just a man
But I'm good

Hard times are coming I think
Hard hard times are coming for America

Tons and tons of military equipment coming into Barstow
FEMA camps everywhere
National guard units training in the streets of Ontario

The people seem to be oblivious
The economy teeters on the brink

Well I have always been alone
Alone and poor

Searching for something
Some fulfillment
A meaningful job

I don't know
Dang here we go again
How many years without a job?
