lyrics

November 12th, 2007

Being out of work is really getting to me. I feel simply purposeless. I don’t feel connected to the city at all. Like I’m still just visiting. It ’s taking its toll on things with Nicole and I too. I’m depressed and just simply feel emasculated in a profound way. It ’s not a money thing, I just need to be doing something. I guess I can t really complain though I’m not stuck in the slums of Rio.

----------------------------

Remember this
when you’re falling apart:

They got it worse in Afghanistan
They got it worse in Rio de Janiero

When you can’t find a job
and your coffee’s gotten cold, remember:

They got it worse in the Baltic states
They got it worse in Africa

When your girlfriend’s mad
because you seem to have lost
all your passion, remember:

They got it worse in the Middle East
They got it worse in the USA

When your life has no purpose
and you feel you’ve lost your connection
to the community and all you do is walk
around, alone, remember, remember this:

They got it worse in Afghanistan
They got it worse in Rio de Janiero
They got it worse in the Baltic states
They got it worse in the U-S-of-A
