Punk Lyric

[Cougar]

This is my latest. It sounds okay, but I don't think it reads too well.


SPITE THE STRIFE
You know I'm not a capitalist
But, for once, I just wish
The rent would pay itself
Being poor is sometimes hell
But what would I do with money
I'd just waste it away on what I don't need

Drink a beer with a friend
Reminisce about all the good time spent
Talk about all our scars
Getting kicked out of all dem bars
Corny catch phrases and lovers without jobs
Carve our lives from what we got

[Chorus]
I have my love, I have my song
I have a world of shit gone wrong
All I can do is laugh
Spite the strife and laugh out loud

You know sometimes I just wanna be held
Act I'm like everybody else
Listen to all the hollow complaints
Wonder about a friend and why he went away
Yeah, life is real fucking hard
I constantly feel like I'm in the dark

[Chorus]

Pretend I'm busy, pretend I'm lame
I'll pay later for what I feign
Live in the now
With a foot in my mouth
And keep in my heart a special place
For those in the grave

[Chorus]

All I can do is laugh
I haven't the strength to do anything else
All I can do is laugh
I lack the resources to do anything else
All I can do is laugh
It's only way I know how to heal
All I can do is laugh
It's the only way I can think of to deal
Spite the strife, glad to be alive, and laugh out loud
