<b>Feeling Sorry For Me</b> by <i>Slim Dusty</i><br />

Cant get a job and I've got nothin' to do,

Hanging around the street sure takes the sting out of you,

Lining at the employment office one more time,

If they dont give me a job Im going to lay it right on the line.

'Cause me, I'm feeling sorry for me.

Livin' on the dole, is wearin my soul,

Everything I own has been pawned, or sold

I'm feeling sorry for me.

Gonna tell the world where to go, and how get there,

Id go into town but I don't even have the bus fare,

But I don't give a damn for the excuses they all give.

'Cause they don't give a damn about the way that I have to live,

I'm feeling sorry for me.

Drift to the bar at the corner of the street,

Where do you go when youre near dead beat,

I don't seem to be so proud these days,

No one worries about the clothes that you wear.

If you got no place to sleep, someone will share.

But I don't think this is the way its suppose to be,

And someday someone is goin' to pay for what they are doing to me,

'Cause me, I'm feeling sorry for me.

Livin' on the dole, is wearin my soul,,

All of my world has been pawned or sold

I'm feeling sorry for me.

'Cause me, I'm feeling sorry for me,

Livin' on the dole, Is wearin my soul,

All of my world has been pawned or sold

I'm feeling sorry for me.
