PROBLEMS
lyrics: J. Morse © 1985
Stayed out too late
Didn't catch a wink last night
Now I'm much too tired
To put up a good fight
Don't make enough money to tolerate
All the shit I receive
When I'm watching the hourglass
Trying to deceive me
The time clock lying to me
The hands are moving faster now
Backwards and forwards, no way of telling
How much time I have spent
Trying to come up with the rent
She strikes at my heart
Aiming for the centrepiece
Everytime she tries
I get just a little more release
Don't get enough passion
To warrant all the grief I receive
When I'm watching the telephone
Trying to deceive me
The phone just keeps lying to me
The ringer a constant jingle now
Louder and softer, no way of telling
How many calls I have missed
While I lie here and get myself pissed
You think you've got problems?
Well, let me tell you mine, you'll be relieved
Believe me, I've got problems
And my problems are problems which just can't be believed
I'm falling apart
My life's shattering like glass
I just can't hold on
With dignity and just a little more class
Can't seem to find a grip on all of the things
I've always thought I could believe
When I'm watching my face in the mirror
Trying to deceive me
My life keeps lying to me
Back and forth, like a metronome
Round and around, no way of telling
Through how much of this existence
I can maintain this persistence
You think you've got problems?
Well, let me tell you mine, you'll be relieved
Believe me, I've got problems
And my problems are problems which just can't be believed
