When I look back on my life
to see what’s comin’ next
All I see is more unpaid bills
more bad checks and auto wrecks
Won’t someone help me please
Jesus, get my feet back in the right tracks
won’t someone help me please
Can’t everyone see that this wasn’t supposed to
happen to me
I’d be fadin’ away
in the smoggy sun of Californ-i-a
If I had my Way
If I had my way
But this place got a hold on me
tighter than Alcatraz
and it ain’t got half the charm
that I’ve heard that Alcatraz has
My teeth are fallin’ out
and my liver’s going bad
my wife’s gained 500 pounds
and my daughter has been had
by every two bit piece of scum
in a low life rat bag town
that’s known for its loser
but then as my wife tells me every night as she
crawls in bed next to me
honey
beggars can’t be choosers
we’re just natural born losers
we’ve been losing since the day we were born
we’ll be losing til the day we die
some of us was born to win
and others just to wonder why
beggars can’t be choosers…
Won’t someone help me please
Jesus, get my feet back in the right tracks
won’t someone help me please
Can’t everyone see that this wasn’t supposed to
happen to me
I’d be fadin’ away
in the smoggy sun of Californ-i-a
If I had my Way
If I had my way
