Ain't Gettin' Up
Well I made an agreement on the day I was born
I wouldn't raise no hell if I could get my own
A bit of roof up over my head
A hard day's work for a little bit of bread.

There's nothing but dirt as far as I can see
Lots of busted-up lives and lots of people like me
People struggling just to get along
I thought I could take it but I guess I was wrong

(Bridge)
And Oh it's been so long
Since I had any reason to sing my song
And Oh it's been so long
Since I even tried.

But this house and this street
and this town and this world
got nothing left to say
to me and my girl

(chorus) And I I I ain't gettin' up for this
I'll walk across the world for love or money
But I ain't getin' up for this.

You can get me to move if you can tell me why
Tell me things will get better before I die
If death had a home it would be this street
If hope ever came here she would turn and weep.

What are you thinking mister big boss man
Come up and get me if you think that you can
Children are struggling just to get along
You thought we would take it but I guess you were wrong
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
