lyrics

My nose is runny and my eyes are red
And I can’t seem to get out of bed.
My nose is runny and my eyes, they are red
And I can’t seem to get out of bed
It’s a wonderful life, a wonderful life
A wonderful life, we live, we live

So I found a couple dollars on the sidewalk today
That made me feel like I was ok so I can get by, get high, get whatever I need, I need
But it reminded me of the times where my pockets was full
Trading hours of my day, wasting away to play it cool
Lay it down, obey the rules to play the fool, no nevermore
I’m betting on little old me to settle the score

I wish cash ruled everything around you, not me
Dip into the bank, grab it all, get away scott-free
Pop thee bottles, dance til you’re dead
Find time to laugh at the voice in your head
I wish cash ruled everything... not me
Dip into the bank, grab it all, get away scott-free
Pop thee bottles, dance til you’re dead
Find time to laugh at the voice in your head

Throw me to the fire, cause damn I like the burn
Sick of hearing bout all the lessons I should learn
I’ll stick with the worms, digging around in all these roots
In this shady little village who can say who holds the truth
I shoot shoot the sheriff and the deputy
Its hard to look past the cast that they pretend to be
Ain’t no telling or spelling just what it meant to me
And damn, its always hard…relying on eventuallys

I wish cash ruled everything around you, not me
Dip into the bank, grab it all, get away scott-free
pop thee bottles, dance til you’re dead
find time to laugh at the voice in your head
I wish cash ruled everything... not me
Dip into the bank, grab it all, get away scott-free
pop thee bottles, dance til you’re dead
find time to laugh at the voice in your head

My nose is runny and my eyes are red
And I can’t seem to get out of bed
It’s a wonderful life, a wonderful life
A wonderful life, we live
Don’t forget it
