Hand to Mouth

I lay my head down on the stone floor Dirt my blanket, no heat today Not if I want to eat Weary and tired Nothing more to give The man took it all Promised me relief But nothing came of it Mouth full of dust and air I won't eat today Gotta pay the man his dues If i want to keep this shack Death and taxes are the only guarantees in life Nothing but theft at the tip of a pen Doesn't mater what boot steps on your neck When you're livin' hand to mouth Got no more hours today But here's your pay Enjoy your cheap food and misery Keep on going can't afford to die When you're livin' hand to mouth They say there's a plan to rescue us But nothing comes of it Just smiling politicians With empty promises And fat bank accounts Death and taxes are the only guarantees in life Nothing but theft at the tip of a pen Doesn't mater what boot steps on your neck When you're livin' hand to mouth The problems of the world don't bother me When you're livin' hand to mouth On dust and broken dreams Take your pandering lies And leave me be Livin' hand to mouth Livin' Hand to mouth
