Don't Turn Out Like Me

Faxed Head

Don't Turn Out Like Me
lyrics adapted from a poem by Onesiomo P. "Nez" Lourence
music by Faxed Head
I can't afford to live
I can't afford to die
And all that I can give
Is in this tear I cry

The second-hand shoes
The hand-me-down clothes
These old worn-out rags
Are what this body knows

I don't have a TV
And have no radio
Don't have a car to
Drive to where I go

Always on a diet
There's nothing to eat
There's no daily balance
Or requirements to meet

I haven't with what
To spend on anyone
I'm not one of those
To go out and have fun

I have lost the past
Probably, the future too
Don't turn out like me
Please, whatever you do
