Song For Maria
Laying in bed, tossing and turning
Drenched with tears, my eyes are burning
How will I pay my bills, how will I eat
How will I stay warm when they turn off the heat
Worthless he says, the poor and unemployed
Ambition, dedication, completely devoid
How could he think I would choose this life
Ashamed, depressed, my family in strife
Say I want a kingdom
Something for free, freedom
Say I am the burden
Say I am
Worthless, purpose
When do I succeed, get a piece of the pie
If you don't have it, it's your fault, you don't try
Work as hard as I can to little or no avail
Trapped in a system that wants me to fail
Say I want a kingdom
Something for free, freedom
Say I am the burden
Say I am
Worthless, purpose
Work day and night
Only got her so far
Her last second to breathe
Was her last in the car
They say the job markets improved, no excuse
Should be happy with this and pay my dues
Should be grateful and give up on my dreams
Born poor, stay poor, well that's how it seems
Say I want a kingdom
Something for free, freedom
Say I am the burden
Say I am
Worthless, purpose
Work day and night
Only got her so far
Her last second to breathe
Was her last in the car
Need to find better work, not like I haven't tried
Corporate man don't want me, cast me aside
Wrench in my stomach is too much to bear
Man on TV insists that I really don't care
Drenched with tears, my eyes are burning
How will I pay my bills, how will I eat
How will I stay warm when they turn off the heat
Worthless he says, the poor and unemployed
Ambition, dedication, completely devoid
How could he think I would choose this life
Ashamed, depressed, my family in strife
Say I want a kingdom
Something for free, freedom
Say I am the burden
Say I am
Worthless, purpose
When do I succeed, get a piece of the pie
If you don't have it, it's your fault, you don't try
Work as hard as I can to little or no avail
Trapped in a system that wants me to fail
Say I want a kingdom
Something for free, freedom
Say I am the burden
Say I am
Worthless, purpose
Work day and night
Only got her so far
Her last second to breathe
Was her last in the car
They say the job markets improved, no excuse
Should be happy with this and pay my dues
Should be grateful and give up on my dreams
Born poor, stay poor, well that's how it seems
Say I want a kingdom
Something for free, freedom
Say I am the burden
Say I am
Worthless, purpose
Work day and night
Only got her so far
Her last second to breathe
Was her last in the car
Need to find better work, not like I haven't tried
Corporate man don't want me, cast me aside
Wrench in my stomach is too much to bear
Man on TV insists that I really don't care
