lyrics

One thing I am sure of
is that I am alive
And the only other thing I know is one day I will die
Don't let the daunting uncertainty ever get me down
I just pick my dollar up and mosey on downtown

Do not speak of your wealth lest I pay no mind
Do not tell me your certainties assumption is your crime
To know for sure is to be dead
Too little hands, so many times
Stomach empty, let my mind be fed
And pour another glass of wine

Because I grow oh so hungry
And I grow oh so tired
Ya but I ain't in no hurry
So cast my bones into the fire X2

You cry and you cry that you only just survive
You know not of when your future will arrive
You struggle and strive no head to support the crown
Just stay out of our way, my lady and hound

Because I grow oh so hungry
And I grow oh so tired
Yeah but I ain't in no hurry
So cast my bones into the fire X2
