Closing in on forty

Ain't got a pot to piss in

Getting wrinkles on my face

My hair's getting thin

Now I'm overworked, underpaid

Having trouble getting laid,

Restless, irritated, getting aggravated, got a

Black night in my soul!

And I'm doing time in this jail cell

of a living hell

Live in a run-down house

In the bad part of town,

Swimming in debt

My credit rating is going down,

Now I'm unemployed, under-joyed

Yeah I'm completely annoyed,

I'm jaded, the light of my life

has slowly faded, got a

Black Night in my soul!

And I remember regret but the rest

I just seem to forget

A rat's rage in this cage

Is the doom of old age,

Should I laugh, should I cry

Get drunk or get high?

There's nothing left here

There's nothing more left to fear,

So I don't care anymore

Show me to the other side

of death's door!

Everybody's done forgot me

No one cares anymore,

Aches and pains everywhere

My back is getting sore,

Now, it's a shame, who's to blame

For going deaf and going lame?

I've thrown the toss, time to count the cost,

got a

Black night in my soul!

And I'm halfway to six feet under

In a cold wet hole

Feels like my life will soon expire

Go ahead and throw me on my

Funeral Pyre, RIGHT NOW!
