Buying Life

BUYING LIFE This is how She got the job To pay the rent That man did drink The rent to house To house the kids That man did want The kids That cried Throughout the night This is how She crashed the car To get to job To help the man The man who drank To pay the rent To house the kids That man did want The kids That cried Throughout the night This is how The babe was born Before its time When car did crash To get to job To help the man The man that drank To pay the rent To house the kids That man did want The kids That cried Throughout the night This is how The babe Did die Before its time From crash in car To get to job To help the man Who drank the rent To house the babes The man did want The babes That cried Throughout the night This is how She packed the kids To leave the man That drank the rent The rent to house To house the kids That man did want The kids That cried Throughout the night This is how She lived in peace Without a man And got a job And bought a house To house the babes That she did want The babes That Slept Throughout The Night.
