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
