this is how my day begins (rewrite 1)


this is how my day begins
I brush my teeth and wash my skin
shave the whiskers off my chin
and start a brand new day
listen to the coffee perk
catch the bus and go to work
time to be a sales clerk
everyone out of my way

this is how my day starts out
with a whisper, not a shout
I'd like to be a layabout
but work needs to be done
time to please the customers
do whatever they prefer
I'm hoping I can find a cure
doctor, give me some

          I dream someday that things will change
          but they never do
          the same old stuff, but it's not enough
          to change my point of view

work all day, go back home
eat my supper all alone
my life is not my safety zone
I can't wait for sleep to come
a little peace is what I need
drink some whiskey, smoke some weed
satisfaction guaranteed
I don't bother anyone

          I do my best to get some rest
          when I walk through the door
          of my apartment here
          I grab a beer
          and do what I did before
          
I've learned falling is not enough
it may be hard, it may be rough
it all depends on getting up
as best as you know how
I am standing once again
considering this world I'm in
I'm the same man that I've always been
and somehow that's enough

          I dream someday that things will change
          but they never do
          but still I try
          I don't know why
          it's how I make it through
          some days I lose
          some days I win
          this is how my day begins
