You're On Your Own
When Things Get
Terrible
When things get bad
I'll look out for myself
Even if it means
Forgetting dad
You save your own skin
Because nobody cares
Nobody will be
There to comfort you
Or to say "there there"
Life is terrible
And never fair
And when China has
Dropped the bomb
Or another nation too
Everyone will
Be terrified
And won't know
What to do
As for me
I could really
Give a f
*
I'll maybe be
With Bill
My old marine neighbor
We shall try our luck
Bill is a tough old bird
And not that religious too
But you are a good guy
And I would look out for you
I can see
Maybe a terrible time
Coming
For this country
Let it come
Let it come
I've been through
Enough terrible times
I'm ready for more
