Why Always Me

(hummmmm) (ahhhh) {acoustic guitar

fingerpicking pattern, sparse and melancholy} Life is too short

and never make money,

oh god

Mommy is sick,

no money for treatment

Why always me,

oh why always me?

{plaintive acoustic chords, soft crying violin}

Poor man don't have choice

Because of

family problems

Rich men they over use us

Even when you are tired,

you say yes

Because you are scared

to lose your job

(fake world) {subtle double bass enters,

soft brush snare swell}

Why always me? (hummmmm)

Working late into the dark,

feeling tired

Scared of tomorrow,

scared of the end (ahhhh) {guitar drops to single slow notes,

soft ambient texture} Poor man don't have choice

Because of

family problems

Rich men they over use us Even when you are tired,

you say yes Because you are scared

to lose your job

(fake world) {passionate strumming,

sweeping emotional

strings}

This fake world... (oh why always me) (hummmmm)

{guitar fades out, single soft violin note sustains to silence}
