Living Hell

got no money, got no time,
spending time drinking, whiskey or wine,
got loaded questions, gut full of booze,
got no answers, got nothing ta lose.
straight, gay, black or white,
can’t tell no more what’s wrong nor right,
covert the girl, another mans wife,
got ya nothing, but trouble and strife,
make a mends, no one listening,
rain comes down, a rainbow glistening,
strutting ya stuff, do it so well,
love it or hate it, who can tell,
short, fat, thick or thin,
make no difference, no one win,
life on the line, like before,
we all got rights, who want it more?
It’s a living Hell!
