Down the meager life...is where I'll stay

I just came in and I got pushed out again

I just came in and I got pushed out again

The wind did it'it did everything

The sky so red, I had to run and hide

I ran and trip on the tractors rear

Didn't even know it was there

It musta been buried up high eighteen hundred feet

The dust storms came and knock over my rice

I can't get hold of my chopsticks to revive my life

My crops all ran, cause they chocked to death

Not a single left

Down the meager life...is where I'll stay

And I've gone on walking

And found the mother road

It was mighty big, long and wide

Been here walking down the path

Took two years, but I've made it pass

Just in time for them to push me out

But I've stood tall and proud

I'm not gonna walk out now

I'm not gonna be pushed around

I punched and bleeded, not a single laughed

Down the meager life...is where I'll stay

Been here for a day and not a thing changed

Not a work in sight

Justa miserable life

With nothing going right

Justa bunch of lies

Nothing good for me

Down the meager life...is where I'll stay

Justa scatter of miserable fight

Nothing changes

Is where I'll be staying

A life of pity, nothing but freight

So...

Down the meager life...is where I'll stay
