Dirty Work

[Guest Shiva H. Vishnu]

I've been letting god down since I was only a boy

So I drink and I smoke and I suffer for moments of joy

But I'm bound and determined to live out the rest of my time

In the hope there's some piece to this puzzle that I've yet to find

 

I met a girl who made me forget how it feels

To be lost and drunk driving through life in a car with square wheels

So I married that girl but it turns out she never was mine

And I know there's some piece to this puzzle that I've yet to find

 

So don't ask me

To pull out my pockets and pay for the people I've hurt

It;s hard to stay clean

When you're doing this dirty work

 

I know I've got debts that I'll never be able to pay

I can try til I die or just give up and live for today

But no matter how empty I get, in the back of my mind

I still know there's some piece to thus puzzle that I've yet to find

 

So don't ask me

To pull out my pockets and pay for the people I've hurt

It's hard to stay clean

When you're doing this dirty work
