Tired of Livin'
Well, I'm tired of livin' and I'm scared of dyin'
I can't get ahead and there's no use tryin'
Things would better change and I ain't lyin'
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, the people workin' around me everyday
Are gettin' promotion and a raisin' pay
But I keep workin' the same old way
And somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, the man next door owns a 40 room shack
Rides around everyday in a big Cadillac
But I'm still walkin', that's a fact
And somethin' better happen pretty soon
Well, I'm tired of livin' and I'm scared of dyin'
I can't get ahead and there's no use tryin'
Things would better change and I ain't lyin'
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Well, everybody's got a girl to call his own
But I keep on livin' all alone
Like a king without a throne
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Well, my brother Bill, he's never broke
He never worked so slick and that ain't no joke
If things don't change, I'm afraid, I'll croak
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, I'm tired of livin' and I'm scared of dyin'
I can't get ahead and there's no use tryin'
Things would better change and I ain't lyin'
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, somethin' better happen pretty soon
I can't get ahead and there's no use tryin'
Things would better change and I ain't lyin'
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, the people workin' around me everyday
Are gettin' promotion and a raisin' pay
But I keep workin' the same old way
And somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, the man next door owns a 40 room shack
Rides around everyday in a big Cadillac
But I'm still walkin', that's a fact
And somethin' better happen pretty soon
Well, I'm tired of livin' and I'm scared of dyin'
I can't get ahead and there's no use tryin'
Things would better change and I ain't lyin'
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Well, everybody's got a girl to call his own
But I keep on livin' all alone
Like a king without a throne
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Well, my brother Bill, he's never broke
He never worked so slick and that ain't no joke
If things don't change, I'm afraid, I'll croak
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, I'm tired of livin' and I'm scared of dyin'
I can't get ahead and there's no use tryin'
Things would better change and I ain't lyin'
Somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, somethin' better happen pretty soon
