• Life's Not Fair

Jimmy Brown quit town 'til the buzz died down
Spent twenty-five days on the run.
All that he got for his time and his trouble
Was a bible and a smoking gun.

Hooked up with Beth in a Little Chef
Said he'd like to try again.
All that she got for her time and her trouble
Was a seven mile walk in the rain.

And he said \"Honey, I left the money
In the closet under the stairs.\"
But home-brewed wine and turpentine
Were all that she'd find in there.

Yeah that day she learned a lot:
Life's not fair.

Jonah dumped the Rover somewhere outside Dover
Headed over to his old-man's place.
All that he got for his time and his trouble
Was the smile wiped from his face.

Spent six month's in his pa's garage
Sleeping in the pigeonloft.
All that he got for his time and trouble
Were diptheria and whooping cough.

And his old-man said \"I'll be damned
If I'll hide away in fear.
Come on son, take your gun
We're getting out of here.\"

Yeah that day they learned a lot:
Life's kind of weird.

Hope quit the dope for God and the Pope
Her friends didn't treat her very nice
All that she got for her time and her trouble
Was eternity in paradise.

Finally hitched a ride from a fat old trucker
I guess he thought his luck was in
But all that he got for his time and his trouble
Was a warning on the wages of sin.

And he said \"babe, there's no way
That you're getting in this truck
If you're gonna whine on all night
Like some religious nut.

Yeah that day she learned a lot:
Life really sucks.

And on days like these I take speed
To get me out of bed.
I crave caffeine and nicotine
To calm my aching head.

Yeah you can give life all you got
You still end up dead.
