This is my latest. It sounds okay, but I don't think it reads too well. SPITE THE STRIFE You know I'm not a capitalist But, for once, I just wish The rent would pay itself Being poor is sometimes hell But what would I do with money I'd just waste it away on what I don't need Drink a beer with a friend Reminisce about all the good time spent Talk about all our scars Getting kicked out of all dem bars Corny catch phrases and lovers without jobs Carve our lives from what we got [Chorus] I have my love, I have my song I have a world of shit gone wrong All I can do is laugh Spite the strife and laugh out loud You know sometimes I just wanna be held Act I'm like everybody else Listen to all the hollow complaints Wonder about a friend and why he went away Yeah, life is real fucking hard I constantly feel like I'm in the dark [Chorus] Pretend I'm busy, pretend I'm lame I'll pay later for what I feign Live in the now With a foot in my mouth And keep in my heart a special place For those in the grave [Chorus] All I can do is laugh I haven't the strength to do anything else All I can do is laugh I lack the resources to do anything else All I can do is laugh It's only way I know how to heal All I can do is laugh It's the only way I can think of to deal Spite the strife, glad to be alive, and laugh out loud
