lyrics

Tighten your belt and lower your eyes.
If somebody said it would get better they lied.
There ain't no good can be done from crying.
Tighten your belt and lower your eyes.

Turn off the heat and put on a coat.
Get over your dreams and stay off the road.
The only dream you should be dreaming now
is to figure out how your gonna get old.
Turn off the heat and put on your coat.

All we got left is ourselves
and you ain't that smart and I am in poor health.
They said to save for a rainy day
but if you never had what can you put away?
All we got left is ourselves.

I'm a quarter the man that I thought I would be.
I want to provide for you cannot protect me.
Maybe the mighty have taken a fall
but the rest of us sure ain't having a ball.
I'm a quarter man that I thought I would be.
