The Death Of John Smith
Ive got respect from the community
Ive got my bridge game to look forward to
Ive got this chance, a golden opportunity
As long as I keep doing what Im supposed to
You see my wife and kids, they depend on me
To provide them with nothing but the best
I feel its my duty, my obligation
To live up to the standards society suggusts
So Ill keep on working for their benefit
And Ill keep on drinking
Ill keep on believing in my life
Another year of slaving and smiling, buying and trading
Living the life of a wealthy man
But somehow I dont feel so rich inside
But that doesnt make sense
I just had a two week vacation
As soon as I get this operation
Taken care of, Ill start enjoying
The good things in life
So Ill keep on working for the benefits
And Ill keep on drinking
Ill keep believing in my life
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I wont be around
When youre feeling all alone
Then youll know its time,
To go into the ground
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I wont be around
Ive got my family, friends, and associates
To stand by me as the threshold comes near
Within their faces I see grave concern
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere
After all these years of being complacent
What do I get? tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?
No! just a pain through a body chalk full of regret
Ill keep on believing my life still has value
And Ill keep on laughing
Why cant I stop laughing? I cant stop the laughing.
