Happy Never Gonna Be A Father’s Day
never gonna end up goin back to school
welcome to almost minimum wage unskilled labor
dead end waitin for the break that ain’t comin
check to check renting a place you can’t afford
with no one waitin up for you when you get home
Happy Never Gonna Be A Writer’s Day
got the drinking problem and the lonely
yeah that’s a pretty good start but
ten years now you still working on that book?
