Just Ain't Good Enough
Why do the good men get the bad luck?
Not moving cuz they all stuck
Going down stead a up
With not a person to love
Cuz being kind
All the time
Just ain’t good enough
You’ll get thrown out with the other stuff
Blown away by big guys actin’ tough
Shame life is now outta puff
Though you’ve taken the smooth with the rough
Now you guys are like “so what?”
There just isn’t any use in trying
When the bad guys do all the hiring
Those who’re stabbing people’s backs
Getting through to fast track
Right to the top, no looking back
Whilst I’m stuck with the old pack
Whose boss is full of crap
Cuz the good ones who ain’t as bad
Are the needles in the haystack
All I gotta say say is ****
Why am I getting all the setbacks?
It’s unjust
Be bad or bust
What are we hurting each other for
The world is poor
The human race is so sore
No compassion anymore
Why is it all so unjust?
I’m the boy with the crooked smile
Can’t look in the mirror, reflection’s vile
Causing me to spit out bile
Leaving grown men running a mile
Cuz people they just judge on style
So if your face ain’t flash n’ wild
You’re gonna go nowhere
For a while
Don’t care if inside you’re fire
As long as the outside’s mild
They just don’t hire
How on earth did it get this dire?
No one looking for character
They’d rather you’re a liar
Or have a rich father
Otherwise it’s so much harder
Getting noticed by those in power
It’s unjust
One side living it up
The other dying for love
Of a home or cause
Not believing in wars
But it’s been forced with no remorse
Why is it all so unjust?
Trying to do things right
Still they turn out wrong
So I end up writing songs
Bout’ how my life is too **** long
A marathon people finish
But I simply ain’t that strong
My mind is all gone
Thinking bout’ how the system’s so dumb
Rewarding the greedy ones
And plain thugs
Patience and care are **** outta luck
Never had a reason to get my hope up
Cuz it seems to me
That the air we breath
Is only clean for the mean
No wonder we’re all green
With envy, cuz it seems
Like our lives are so lean
Got more losses than wins
Get treated like a has been
Even though I’ve tried avoiding sin
I’m still searching for a place within
This life of mine, hope I’m not wasting
My time as I’m busting
a gut, trying to get out in front
But the race is so long
I’ve forgotten what I want
So I leave the prize to pretty eyes
I move over cuz it’s glamour time
Focus on the glossy lips and swaying hips
And guys who look like movie stars, but ****
Is that all of it?
I thought there was something more than this
Turns out the girls n’ guys
Who look like lies
Turn out happy n’ rich
It’s unjust
Guys in a rush
Looking with a lust
For the things which they desire
They push and shove
For what they want
Never considering the need of others
Why is it all so unjust?
