As I look at the world through my blood shot eyes I can see clearly all the corrupction and lies If your perfect world should crumble and fall apart Would you have the courage and straight to make a new start This wine I drink sooths and numbs my brain While it relives my heart that's filled with pain Pain I feel for the whole human race As I look around I'm not the one thats out of place Cause I'm the one with the smile on my face It's true there are times I don't have a buck In fact most of the time I'm down on my luck But my friends are here because they care And what little we have we'er willing to share You got a big house and a fancy car I got open spaces under the stars You with your high cost of living so much to loose Me with my ignorance and love of booze
Reason for writing:
Wrote this about my brother when I was going through my
