The Root Of All Evil

So tired of this shit what can I do to change this circumstance?
Changing time and again just for some spare change
Jingling in my pocket falling through cracks in my ripped pants
How do I move toward a goal when it takes dollars to row the boat?
Every night having dreams that I wasn't so piss poor
Where we didn't fight about money
Craving a day where you didn't bitch that I can't maintain
I try to save but the bill collectors keep knocking
Twenty four years have been hard on this body
Look in the mirror to see blue eyes that begin to rot
Brilliance once held the gaze now only grey matter remains
Envisioning every night of committing felony's just to get paid
Slitting throats for a buck just so I don't have to see my love disappointed
I would jump off a building and break both legs if I knew I could eat again
Welcome to hell population me
It's only I in here the devil picked up and left me
No check no loan no promise to pay every time I put out my hand
It seems like my bad life has caught up with all my evil
Looking for tubes to syphon gas out of strange cars
Hoping that maybe I'll drink some and vomit up this demon in me
This spirit that keeps me in poverty
Locked to chains that strip me clean of all my prosperity
Look at the effects of this life on me
Sharks swim to overtake a poor little seal lost at sea
Money really does make the world go round
And when you lack you see that everything just stands still
Everything except for time
I just keep getting older and more haggard
The body of a youth but the innards of a geriatric
My heart slowly beats as it begins to stop
Pushing me to depths where I dream for a room with iron bars
The value of a life is worth nothing where I'm going
Straight downhill to a watery grave
Money really is the root of all evil
