lyrics

I called the bank
They can't seem to get enough
Went and bought a scratcher with my last ten bucks
Got Z's, P's, and D's on the bottom of the card
Thinking how am I so down on my luck
Cause 1'm not free like you
This world is so big and cruel
I watched them lay you down with their gardening tools
And I couldn't buy the stone
No, I couldn't even buy you a stone
Here's a toast to my dissatisfaction
If I were pleased, I would never need a glass
I take my bills straight from the mailbox
And I throw them in the trash
My mediocre settlement has come and met it's due
I'm going under from my head to my shoes
And all I really want to do is talk to you
I guess you turned to God because you were scared
And then you turned to me in hopes I'd answer your prayers
But in your final hours, I failed to be there
No, I couldn't even answer the phone
No, I couldn't even answer the phone
Well I had this dream that I was you
I was lying in that hospital room
And I watched me say goodbye
Watched my tears fall on your fingers as you died
So when I'm free like you
We'll be reduced to one last blank stare
And no one will come to the funeral home
Though they all said they'd be there
Burn my body into ashes so black
They'll be sure that I'll never come back
And when they pat the shovel on the top of the plot
Well I hope no one buys me a stone
Well I hope no one buys me a stone
