Alone
She's struggling to survive. Her husband left her. Two kids in tow. How, oh how could he do
this so. No college education, no money to spair. This poor woman is going despair.
Goverment won't help her. If she works she'll be worse off. She sticks to welfare, the pain
inside hurts.
She struggling to survrive. No spare money to buy the kides some shoes. Ends up spending
it on booze.
The bills keep coming, she's going despair. No one to help her, she pulls out her hair. Sink
or swim. Live or die. All alone.
