Guarantees

Em
These warehouse wages
Kill the ends introduction
I should have schooled it up
When I was younger should have stuck
 to plan
Am
Always had the dreams of being more 
self assertive
And my kids a teenager he needs the 
health insurance
 Em
So break my body
Break break my soul down
Just another zombie walking blindly 
through your ghost town
Am
Pull up to the bar to politic and 
tap the power
Ain't nobody all that jolly at your 
happy hour
Em
But I don't want to go home yet
So imam talk to my cigarette
And that television set
Am
It doesn't matter what brand or 
station
Anything to take away from the 
current situation
Em
No overtime pay no holiday
Months behind on everything but the 
lottery
Am
Inter 'round the corner guaranteeing
 that my car dies
Wifey having trouble juggling both 
the part times
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
Em
My cup ain't close to filled up
We trying to build up so we can have
 enough
     Am
And when I finally get the color
There won't be nothing left to paint
 on
My friend tried to kill himself to 
the same song

Em Am Em Am

      Em
My better half is mad at making 
magic out of canned goods
My tax bracket status got her 
questioning my man hood
Am
My shorty got caught smoking weed at
 a concert
And if I smack em everybody treats 
me like a monster
Em
My neighbors ain't doing much better
And we making competition instead of
 sticking together
Am
Can't save no nest egg in fact this 
nest is rented
In fact that rent is late wait
Em
The money ain't here the raise ain't
 coming
Just me and my son and that crazy 
woman
Am
And those bartenders this whole 
f**king country
Got everybody swallowing that lunch 
meat
Em
Maybe we can speed up the process
Kill me in my thirties in the name 
of progress
Am
Put me in the dirt and then change 
the topic
Some time it seems like the only way
 to stop it
Em
Contemplate my departure date
Doesn't take a lot to get a lot of 
us to talk this way
Am
Take a shot at me thats all i'm 
obligated for
Apparently my only guarantee is a 
walk away

 Em                                
The only guarantee in life is a 
 Am
life worth dying for

Cause death don't wait for no one
               Am
Sitting on your front door
