Put On His Coat

Every day he wakes up

Lights up a cigarette

As if at breakfast with his coffee

Turns on the tube

Reads the news

Looks like another day in hell

Unemployed, don’t wanna work

Says it only brings him down

A lonely life

And over the hill

Every day seems like a year

He don’t like to live

So he won’t anymore

He don’t like to laugh

So he won’t anymore

So one day he wakes up

Lying in bed

Counts the tiles on the ceiling

Today’s the day

He convinced himself

The day that I’ll end all my pain

So he put on his coat

Hiding the pistol

Took a walk down to the river

Under the bridge

Too late for meditation

Put a bullet in his head

He don’t like to live

So he won’t anymore

He don’t like to laugh

So he won’t anymore

No no no no

And I don’t understand

What made my friend take his own life

And I’m sorry about the hell

That you put yourself through

To change the world
