this is how my day begins


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

work all day, go back home
eat my supper all alone
my life is a danger 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 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

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 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
          all I ever do is clean
          this massive mess I'm in
          this is how my day begins

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 the shape I'm in
all I want's a way to win
if that can be allowed

          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
          and tomorrow I'll wake up from my sleep
          and do it all again
          this is how my day begins
