[ What Is This Downside, That You Speak Of? ]
[ Are They Looking In The Wrong Places ]
[ For Their True Love? ]

[ Things Where They Live Cannot Be All That Bad ]
[ Maybe They Should Just Concentrate On Being
The Best Dad ]

[ They Can Be ]
[ Are They Really Talking Like That To Me? ]

[ Because They Try To Put Their Best Foot Forward Every Minute
Of The Day ]
[ But @ Times Things Just Don’t Swing Their Way ]

[ Sometimes They Feel That They Have Paid Their Dues ]
[ But Whenever They Watch T.V. ]
[ It Seems That They Never SawThe Clues ]

[ Then They Look @ Life Through Their Tired Eyes ]
[ & See That They Don’t Really Want To Be One Of Those
Ordinary Guys ]

[ They See That They Stress Themselves To Reach To Have Those
American Dreams ]
[ But In The Middle Of The Night They Are Startled Awake ]
[ By Their Own Screams ]

[ The Morning Comes & They Feel Like They Never Got Any
Sleep ]
[ In The Afternoons When They Need To Pay The Bills ]
[ They Do Nothing But Weep ]

[ They Open Their Checkbooks Wondering What Is There ]
[ Then All They Do Is Look @ The Negative Number ]
[ & Silently Stare ]

[ It’s The First Week Of The Month & They Wonder Where It
Went ]
[ They Look @ Their Empty Wallet ]
[ & Can’t Remember Where It All Was Spent ]

[ Are They Leaning Towards Giving An Excuse ]
[ Or Do They Have A Good Reason ]
[ So They Won’t Be Accused ]

[ Of Spending It All ]
[ Doing On-Line Betting ]
[ & Drinking Alcohol ]

[ Do They Get On Their Knees Went They Get Home ]
[ Well Some Things Will Never Be Known ]
[ Like Where Their Monthly Paycheck Was Blown ]

[ The Next First Of The The Month ]
[ Can’t Come Soon Enough ]

[ Then The Nightmare Starts All Over Again ]
