Badless - Spending My Inheritance lyrics

rate me

I was just a young boybarely 17

A regular poster child for the american dream

I spent some time in collegetried to learn that system well

Left a problem drinker and cynical as hell

Chorus

They say there's two kinds of people

Those who have and those who don't

Some of us will benefit

And there's some of us that won't

Some people spend a lifetime

Trying to get over that fence

But I'm just on the corner

Spending my inheritance

I guess old father time's put on one hell of a show

'cause the older that I get it seems the less I know

I found the road to riches was just a private drive

Owned by politicians waving from inside

Chorus

There's nothing wrong with me still I have to wonder why

Another dayanother family tree lifts it's branches to the sky

Dined on good intentionsnearly starved to death

I gave the world my last two cents and now I live on what is left

There's never any medalsthere isn't much reward

You gotta find your peace of mind in what you can afford

Chorus

Well I'm back where I startedspending my inheritance
