Текст песни Grievances - Daniel Johnston

If I had my own way
You'd be with me here today
But I rarely have my own way
I guess that's why you're not here with me today

And the librarian said
'You can't buy no respect'
I said "hey lady, what can you expect
When I'm lying on the floor?"

You're a lovely lady
But you don't wanna be no girl of mine
Well, the only thing you ever done for me
Was help me waste my time
And I saw you at the funeral
You were standing there like a temple
I said "hi, how are you, hello"
And I pulled up a casket and crawled in

Climbed up a mountain
And I looked around
Some kind of circus with all them clowns
I said 'hey wait a minute
Can't we slow down a bit?'
And I almost got hit by a truck
Well, it just goes to show you
That we're all on our own
Scrounging for our own share of good luck
Stab your brother in the back
And pick up your paycheck

Goodbye, lonely-heart drawings
You never did work anyhow
I'm looking for a nice girl
And I don't want no cow
I'm heading out west
Gonna find me the best
Well, I played the game
But I failed the test
If I can't be a lover, then I'll be a pest
Yes, I will
