Weight of the World

(Dark Hollow Band/Real Monsters)
2008-01-01
Sometimes it feels like the weight of the world
Is rollin’ over me
Hear my cry, I’m down on my knees, dear Lord
Have mercy on me

People insane are crazy
People in love are free
People on welfare are lazy
Then there’s poor, white trash, like me

My granddaddy worked down in the mines
Deep in the cold, dark ground
‘Till that old black dust crept into his lungs
Now, my granddaddy, he ain’t around

People in love are crazy
People on welfare are free
People insane are lazy
Then there’s poor, white trash, like me

So I answered the call to my country in need
And I fought in the war overseas
Now it just don’t seem right to come home and find
I can’t feed my poor family

People on welfare are crazy
People insane are free
People in love are just lazy
Then, there’s poor, white trash, like me

Sometimes it feels like the weight of the world
Is rollin’ over me
