Wouldn't It Be Good

I got it bad

You don't know how bad I got it

You got it easy

You don't know when you've got it good

It's getting harder

Just keeping life and soul together

I'm sick of fighting

Even though I know I should

The cold is biting

Through each and every nerve and fiber

My broken spirit is frozen to the core

I don't wanna be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes

Even if it was for just one day?

Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?

The grass is always greener over there

Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?

You must be joking

You don't know a thing about it

You've got no problem

I'd stay right there if I were you

I got it harder

You couldn't dream how hard I got it

Stay out of my shoes

If you know what's good for you

The heat is stifling

Burning me up from the inside

The sweat is coming through each and every pore

I don't wanna be here no more

I don't wanna be here no more

I don't wanna be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes

Even if it was for just one day?

Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?

Ooh

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?

The grass is always greener over there

Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?

I got it bad

You don't know how bad I got it

You got it easy

You don't know when you've got it good

It's getting harder

Just keeping life and soul together

I'm sick of fighting

Even though I know I should

I don't wanna be here no more...
