Running a business and dying
Hoping a praying there is a check in the mail
Calling and not getting an answer
Checking the mail again and again
Hoping and praying
Nothing came today
Bills are mounting up
If only you could get a loan to cover you through hard times
Things worked before
Now they don’t
Hoping and praying still nothing showed up in today’s mail
Calling another customer but they don’t know when they can pay
Getting an order you can’t fill
Somebody lend me money to cover me
Bills mounting up
Still no money coming in
What’s different?
Why did it used to work?
Who do you blame?
What do you blame, the economy, the government, God?
Hoping and praying, why isn’t the phone ringing?
Why isn’t there any money?
Why can’t I pay my bills?
I should have just stayed at my old job
I should have done nothing
Now I am more in debt
Why must I fail?
Why is it so easy for some?
Begging hoping and praying
Finally a check appears it’s not enough to cover your bills.
You will have to work harder sell more just to break even.
Your trapped you can’t get out
The tax man want’s his cut now
The vendor’s want their money now
They keep calling
And you sit down at your desk
Is this the day I **** myself?
You have a gun
You have rope
You have pills
You can walk off a building
You can walk into traffic
Will you do it?
No! you can suffer more.
You haven’t completely humiliated yourself yet
You are a boxer that can’t lift his arms
And you are being punched in the face over and over again
Punch drunk
Do you fall down?
Do you give up?
Will the next punch **** you?
You don’t get that lucky
Hoping and praying
Slowing dying
You just take a beating over and over again with no end in sight
Why Why Why?
When will it all end?
