[hometext] => a tribute to the every day slog of life
[bodytext] => Another day draws to a close, a segment in time on which to reflect Added to the list piling up in your long and pointless past And oh how fast tomorrow comes, ready to beat the drums Of disappointment over and over again Like a death march from beginning to the inevitable end You waste so much breath talking about how much you spend On what you don’t need and seldom can afford Just to fit in to a world that makes profit from you’re ever Growing boredom The days roll into one continuous blur As you work to cover your increasing splurge On food and bills and transport, the ills of sleepless nights And bank volts slam in your mind as you clean the sweat from your brow Just to see another letter saying pay up now So what good we ask will come of this Laying in a drunken pile of sick Wishing for death or a lottery win to seal our fate or prolong our sins Wake up and find another way, before you wind up on that fateful day With a bottle of jack wishing so hard for a way back to a time when You wanted to say, I’m happy.
