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
