With a promise and a prayer
And a sparkle in his eye
He goes to work everyday
But he's barely getting by
And at the end of the week
Without a dollar to his name
He gets ready for the next
To get up and do the same
Day in day out
Same old song and dance
Same sh** different day
And his wife wears the pants
Disgruntled
With a picture of his kids
And a gun held to his head
He thanks god for a life
That is soon to become dead
And at the end of the note
It says you know my time has come
I don't want this any more
And I feel my life is done
Life is done
With a promise and a prayer
And sparkle in her eye
She goes to work everyday
But she's barely getting by
And at the end of the week
Without a dollar to her name
She gets ready for the next
To get up and do the same
Do the same
Disgruntled
