Pulley Album

I can feel the pressure coming down from all around
So many deadlines to meet
Life has gotten crazy again
So many people counting on me
I keep my nose pressed to the grindstone
I find comfort there
I work for a living and I get it done
I don't have a moment to spare

You think you've got me figured out
Well there's not really too much more
I work for a living and I get it done
I'm just another working class whore

I put in the overtime on the corporate ladder climb
I'm respected inside these walls
I make my journey home to watch TV all alone
Outside I'm nothing at all
So many times I wish I could
Make a difference in this world
but I work for a living and I get it done
I do just as I'm told

You think you've got me figured out
Well there's not really too much more
I work for a living and I get it done
I'm just another working class whore

Day in day out same old thing
I'm a slave to this grind
For all the work I do to keep myself ahead
I wonder what I leave behind

Rent, water, power, phone, insurance to pay
On health, life, auto, and home
I'll wake up old and I won't fit the mold And I'll be out on my own
I'm just another working class whore

all the trees they line the yards
suburban homes all in a row screened in porches,
swimming pools deluxe electric garage doors
and trampolines, parkway where the grass grows,
solar panel lighted christmas trees.
i'm far away from where i wanna be
suddenly appreciates the inside foundations
cracked yeah that we know for sure
i'm far away from where i want to be.
what happens next to be
you'll know high rise in the city elevators
up to the hundredth floor doormen with their
whistle blow taxi lights they come and go go
ahead and piss your day away

everyone goes through a little pain
keep watching and follow me the guilt
that your going to give to me is never going
to leave something new and i don't relate
can't hang around for long a stone unturned
every missing word disillusioned i've become
this ain't the way it's supposed to be this
time i think i'll let it lay another day to
drown i'm tired and my patience thin keep
feeding off the bone some say that it's
impossible to stop and smell the rose going
out with a bang next time don't know what i'll
be next year a few hours south and the air is
green maybe something new is there it has to
work this time around or i'll trade it in for
sure everything for me myself and
i this time come first

I don't plan anything
I'm trying to come home
Thoughts of you are always on my
mind
A runaway from problems, my excuse
when I am there
You roll over - once again I'm gone

It's old, it's plain to see this life of
tragedy
Save it for later - that's what we always
said
What will that do for us?
What will they do for us?
What will they do for us now?

Tried to paint a picture of the times
that we once shared
Never seemed to be so concerned

The story goes like this...
You say I'm almost never there
Independence is what you want
An arm to hold on, someone to sleep
next to in the night
Rolling over - once again I'm gone

Look through the backlog, an index
of thoughts
This time it won't get to me
What will they do for us?
What will they do for us?
What will they do for us now?

I tried to paint a picture of the time
we once shared
Never seemed to be so concerned

(And I don't plan anything
I'm never comin' home
Thoughts of you are on my mind
So I'm never gone...)

What will they do for us?

I don't want to hear another word
You're over it, it seems
I don't think you'll mind the end so much
It justifies your means
All this silence once disturbed me
Now there's nothing more to say
Unless you speak what's on your mind
Go your seperate way

Wake me up when it's all over
I've got things to do
I'd like to get on with my life
If it's with or without you
And it breaks my heart to see all that we've done
Just thrown away
And I don't want to live like this today

For the last four years I've come to butt my head against this wall
For all my troubles I have found
I got nowhere at all
I try to speak but no one hears
A single word I say
Desperation seems to grow
With every show I play

I may be down but I'm not out
There's a few rounds left to go
Been around this circle enough times
I ought to know
Life is what you make of it
And I'm too tired to play
I don't want to live like this today

I'm so tired of feeling like I do
From waiting to see if we will change

All that we thought we'd never be
Is what we live today
I don't want to live my life this way

'

I could never do enough for you
You took all i could give
To leave me outside in the cold
Am I supposed to forgive?
Go your way and I'll go mine
There's nothing left to say
I'm better of without some one who would
Treat a friend this way

Felling sorry for yourself
I don't feel sorry for you
Search for answers
Find no answers
I don't feel sorry for you

Support your cause I never will
Believe a thing you say
The taste of dirt inside your mouth
It's the dark side you can blame
Search to find the answers that were once intelligent
Now you find your self all alone with your new friends

Felling sorry for yourself
I don't feel sorry for you
Search for answers
Find no answers
I don't feel sorry for you

The loss of hope
The forgotten dreams
I'll get over you some day
You built this wall around yourself
And you pushed us all away
There's so many song's that glorify
This sickness that decay
Standing still while your hanging on
I'll get over you someday

don't tell me life can be unkind
how the goals you thought you could
reach you can never find cause it's
all work ain't nothing free to bad you
had to learn at the expense of me i'm
tired of the lies i hear why do you feel
the need to dismiss your act's of selfishness
why can't you own up to your own greed?
nothing to lose and nothing to gain your
still right where you've always been
nothing ever seems to change nothing to
prove or to be explained you get what you
deserve in the end it's really all the same
so much for my trust in you my once long
time friend you've done the damage that you
can do the waste of energy you expend i've
done nothing dishonest to you you lit the
flame that burned this bridge and from all
i see and hear the guilt is laying heavy on
your head. think of all the energy you've
wasted trying to get even nothing come from
bringing others down i'm all out of sympathy
you took what you could take from me
squander your i'll gotten fortune back

I don't care too much about anything anymore
There's no difference between wrong and right
I'm tired of livin' life out of spite

I don't care too much about anything anymore
I've been here for too long
It's a change I can't go through
You're better off without me, aren't you
Aren't you?

I have lost my faith in finding humanity
For every girl that ever broke my heart,
For every fucked up friend that played that part

I have lost my faith in finding humanity
Compassion, this and that
For all that I've been through
You're better off without me, aren't you
Aren't you?

I've been here for too long
It's a change I can't go through
You're better off without me, aren't you
Aren't you?

forget the tears running down my face
everything so unimportant and you say
when we understand all our problems will
go away and i'm just trying to keep things
simple know what's it going to take for me
to say a few more hours i think we need a
change get back to all the reasons when
we've tried to turn the other way response
triggers an image i'm just trying to keep
it all together now what's it going to take
for me to say i built these walls around
my world so no one could get in selfish
that's the way i want to be sharing not
my thing and definitely won't give
i'm keeping all that's left it's just for me.

My cases sit right in front of me
Waiting for someone to take me away
Alone I sit my pills are kickin in
See I'm a dog
And I'm locked in my cage
Eyes are red, tounge is hanging out
Thirsty as shit I'm still a dog
Fleas don't itch I got a bath the other day
Before this trip, wonder where we're going
Toys are packed see my bed is in
My two bowls are somewhere in reach
I'll scratch with rage until I find a way
To get through this cardboard that sits under me
It's cold down here, a bumpy ride

My seat's not first class, man's best friend
I feel befriended this is a dog's life
O.K. we're here, things are okay again
A brand new lawn just to welcome me here
Scratch my ears and I'll chase down your ball
Looks like this new place will be home
For now it won't take much to go
to sleep after going through all this
Wake up tomorrow and we'll do it again
Living a dog's life

walk away from the news i just heard
with fear born sweat running down my face
i never thought the day would come cast
aside another sick son what do i do bleeding
death inside fight for life fight for mine
why is this happening to me please take away
this fucking disease hey hey wash away the
pain i don't want to live for another day
hey hey no one hears me i'm all alone inside
this agony forget the faith i had before
gotta reach down for some thing more something
i deserve something i ignored i don't even
know what i'm fighting for lay me down put
me to sleep i can't feel the pain when i'm
not awake why is this happening to me
