somedays you shouldn't get out of bed

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

another day in paradise,
work sucks, my house is a mess,
i need clean clothes and 
i just ran out of cigarettes,
wrapped pennies for a pack,
went to the store, 
i was two nickels short,
lady says i need a dime, a nickel
or ten pennies more,
looked in my car, change drawer empty,
found two pieces of gum and
a phone number, no name..
guy pulled up next to me,
i asked him for a dime
i'm short for a pack of smokes,
can you help me out?
i don't smoke and neither should you..
he said,went in and bought his granola bars,
drove back home,
found ten pennies,
back to the store i went,
doors were closed, locked tight
with the cashier inside smoking
a cigarette,
laughing at me,
went back home,
smoked some butts from the ashtray,
went to bed,
another day in paradise.
