Woke up this morning with a pain in my head
I need a doctor and a white linen bed
I'd call for help if only I could
And I know that this can't be good
I know that this can't be good
To be the eye of a needle in the eye of a storm
Surrounded by chaos since the day I was born
And I'd strike that day from the books
If only I could
Because I know that this can't be good
I know that this can't be good
But if I had money and if I had fame
Generosity and goodness
Would follow my name
If a had patience and if I had grace
I'd help everyone that I could
But I know that this can't be good
Ain't got wheels, so I'm walking
When I'm walking it rains
When it rains it pours and I'm stuck here again
I'd leave in a second, you know that I would
Because I know that this can't be good
I know that this can't be good
But if I had money and if I had fame
The salvation army would know me by name
If I had freedom and a little good luck
I'd help everyone that I could
But I know that this can't be good
And a winner draws a crowd
But you're alone when you lose
I could use a hot meal and a new pair of shoes
I can hang laundry, scrub floors and chop wood
And I know my prospects ain't good
I know that this can't be good
And I've always been misunderstood
