Lyrics Can't Rise to Your Feet - Kath Bloom

Sun shone through the window just a little too soon
Showed all the grease spots on the wall
I could have worked at Bobby's place from six till noon
But I didn't return his calls
While the rich folk have psychiatrists
For the poor there's no one there
And no amount of fancy talk will ever make it fair
And you can't rise to your feet
Can't rise to your feet

My lover was a hustler, spent some time in jail
He didn't spend much with the boy
But when he came around he told him lots of tales
And he filled his heart with joy
Oh whatever happen to the wise man were this age
Heaven help this generation when it comes of age
And it can't rise to its feet
Can't rise to its feet

I'm gonna pay
Until I know that it's okay
And I can go on with my life
I'm gonna pay
Until I know that it's okay
And I can go on with my life

I'd like to see my mom and have a good hot meal
But I don't deserve that yet
Cause once from her I did steal everything I could get
While my night's a broken record and my day's a broken song
I'll stumble towards tomorrow
I'll admit that I was wrong
But I can't rise to my feet
I can't rise to my feet

I'm gonna pay
Until I know that it's okay
And I can go on with my life
I'm gonna pay
I'm gonna pay
Until I know that it's okay
And I can go on with my life
