© 2024 John Heavern, Come 'n Get Me

Verse 1

Had my opportunity to shine,

but I kept polluting up my mind.

Never thought the time was right to go

anywhere I didn't really know.

Verse 2

Now my travels happen every day.

even though they're never gonna' pay.

Once I feel my purpose has been served,

I'll concede and leave the Planet Earth.

Chorus

Out of money, out of time:

every day I keep on guessing

how to catch up from behind.

No one's gonna' come 'n get me.

Keep on going, don't know why;

downward spiral's never-ending.

Based upon this crazy life:

let the Devil come 'n get me.

Verse 3

Had some crazy thoughts about the truth,

taught to me when I was just a youth.

Honesty's a policy of old,

best at leaving anybody broke.

Verse 4

Trust is just a cautionary term,

lost in corporations that emerge.

If it's gonna' suit a present need,

any truth can cleverly be tweaked.

Chorus

Out of money, out of time:

every day I keep on guessing

how to catch up from behind.

No one's gonna' come 'n get me.

Keep on going, don't know why;

downward spiral's never-ending.

Based upon this crazy life:

let the Devil come 'n get me.

Bridge

Never gotten used to lying,

cheating, weaselly little bastards.

Tell "The Troops" keep on smiling,

with a tongue that's waggin' blather.

Doesn't matter what they're preaching,

it's the same old situation.

Truth is never really meeting

any corporate expectations.

BREAK

Chorus

Out of money, out of time:

every day I keep on guessing

how to catch up from behind.

No one's gonna' come 'n get me.

Keep on going, don't know why;

downward spiral's never-ending.

Based upon this crazy life:

let the Devil come 'n get me.

OUTRO

Everybody still is pissin'

'cuz it's really good for business.

Lay their problems on the "druggies",

while it's piling up the money.

Can't condone myopic thinkers,

half of whom are problem drinkers.

I'm in Hell: so what's the difference?

Let the Devil come 'n get me.
