Letras
Sun shone through the window just a little too soon
Showed all the grease spots on the wall
I could've worked at Bobby's place from six till noon
But I didn't return his call
Well the rich folk have psychiatrists
For the poor there's no one there
No amount of fancy talk will ever make it fair
When you can't rise to your feet
You 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 happened to the wise man or the sage?
Heaven help this generation when it comes of age
And it can't rise to its feet
It 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
Well 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
