lyrics

Everyday, people will wake
dreading how much money they make
And if I hold my breath
I'll see shooting starts passing by my death
And if I flee the country
Baby won't you hold my money?
Cause they ain't takin' one god damn cent and
I am so sick of it.
See the man with the blood stained hands
Workin' everyday for a poor man's rent but
He see's the world through a glass eye
Gotta slow down just to get by

I've got to slow down, I've got to pick up all the piece now
And when I slow down, I've got to pick up all the pieces now
And if I slow down, I got to pick up all of the pieces now
And If I slow down, I've got to pick up all the pieces now
