Apathy - The Blues lyrics

The love of money is the root of all evil
And that's a fact
But a person ain't nothing without money
And that's wack
I mean you can be spiritual and mentally give
But, you need money for food
And you need food to live
Heat bills and utilities home cable and gas
For you car, Subway fair, bike or bus pass
If you got kids you need to support them
And if you answer to safe sex is abortion
Then you need money to abort them
Now that's messed up, as mess can be
But, it's reality
Awaking without any income or salary
You better have a job 40 hours a week
Shower and eat, sleep, freak, chill
And have heat and what about you future
Your long term post
Maybe own a house and have
A lawn with not potholes
Send you kids away to college
So the cycle repeats
Not having to worry if your family
Is out in the streets
If you follow these steps
You'll probably never lose
Never find yourself saying that
You got the blues you should take my advice
Something that you can use
So you won't have to say
That you got the blues

When you're on top of the world
And feel you can't lose
A problem hit's you right in
The heart leaving a bruise
Whether it's your love or the
Money it's bad news
But don't stress it because you just
(got the blues)
You don't stress it son you just
(got the blues)
You don't stress it baby you just

I sat staring at the wall fearing the call
My girl caught me with another
Chick down at the mall
All she did was give me a
Look and jet out the door
Four hours later my pager was
Still on the floor
No messege is expressionless
Wait no need to be stressing this
She was just a friend I kissed on the cheek
Chilled every other week and wanted to freak
Back in the day straight
But now I got a girl that I lay
So I stay faithful Play no
Games with her brains
My main squeeze she's ready to please
Never complains what more could I ask for
Wack whores who sweat me
Cause of my CD and see
Me when they're greedy, looking sexy
Hoping they caught some cream
But queen sorry to stop your dream
But, I'm not the one you gotta be greeting
That's why I need my girl
Like a fiend needs rock
I need to call her at her
Spot to explain the plot my heart is on lock
I'm feeling the pain of love sting
When I dial her number and
Hear the telephone ring

When you're on top of the world
And feel you can't lose
A problem hit's you right in
The heart leaving a bruise
Whether it's your love or the
Money it's bad news
But don't stress it because you just
(got the blues)
You don't stress it son you just
(got the blues)
You don't stress it baby you just

When you're on top of the world
And feel you can't lose
A problem hit's you right in
The heart leaving a bruise
Whether it's your love or the
Money it's bad news
But don't stress it because you just
(got the blues)
You don't stress it son you just
(got the blues)
You don't stress it baby you just
