Hard Life

Searching and striving

A better life I seek

Exhausting and tiring

I work six days a week


Spending and wasting

The money's going fast

Stretching and spreading

Don't think its gonna last


Waiting and juggliing

All the dreaded bills

Accepting and enduring

A life without the frills


Regretting and repenting

The sinner I used to be

Moaning and groaning

It always happens to me


Hoping and praying

The car will bloody start

Cursing and swearing

The bastards falling apart


Desiring and craving

Some passion in my life

Avoiding and dodging

Ear bashings from the wife



Uplifting and promising

Absolutely nowt

Screaming and shouting

But nothing ever comes out


Clambering and crawling

An effort to climb the stairs

Wishing and pretending

That somebody out there cares .........
