Lyrics

2010
Verse 1
I just lost my job and I'm all out of luck
The country's going down and I don't give a care
About the talking heads spewing on the cable TV
Or what's happening on O that's not reality
Things been looking real bad for a year and a half
I'm late on my bills I just don't have the cash
Now I'm losing my house in just a few days
I'm down on my knees and I weep as I pray

Chorus
Better days are ahead I just can't tell you when
I hope to turn it all around in 2010
We look for comfort from above every now and then
I hope we turn this all around 2010

Verse 2
Now my car won't start and the dog bit my leg
I need a drink so bad but only foam in the keg
Finally got the car started but the tires all flat
I'm losing my mind can you tell me where it's at
I've run out of food having eaten much all week
The shelters are all full can't find the comforts that I seek
Now there's no end in sight as I'm sleeping on the street
I'm so hungry right now ain't got nothing to eat

Chorus
Better days are ahead I just can't tell you when
I hope to turn it all around in 2010
We look for comfort from above every now and then
I hope we turn this all around 2010

Verse 3
Now it's getting quite cold and I'm feeling quite ill
I'm a raging alcoholic just can't seem to get my fill
And the streets are so cruel as I try to find my way
Don't have a thing to live for or a warm place to stay
Got holes in my shoes that let the snow in
I need a fresh start just don't know where to begin
Don't look down on me when I ask you for a dime
Cause soon this could be you it's just a matter of time

Chorus
Better days are ahead I just can't tell you when
I hope to turn it all around in 2010
We look for comfort from above every now and then
I hope we turn this all around 2010
