Thumbs Off

this little boy's just like all the rest
 because he knows just what's inside him
 he's never been put to the test
 because he knows just where to find them
 all his life his head in his air *?(you know he's never had no problems
 the house he lived in ...?
 but he still kept 'em coming
 and who's gonna pay your bills today
 and who's gonna turn the girls away
 and who's gonna make you feel ok
 and who's gonna take your pills today
 and you know it can't be me
 yea you know it can't be me
 sometimes I just feel too much
 and i dont' want to feel at all
 said to his mother "one day, you know,
 mama really think you're different*?"
 she said, "son, you'll have to go,
 you know, it's costing too much to keep you."
 the day went bad as he walked down the road
 you know his head was full of sorrow
 little did he know he'd never see
 his own home again
 and who's gonna pay your bills today
 and who's gonna turn the girls away
 and who's gonna make you feel ok
 and who's gonna take your pills today
 and you know it can't be me
 yea you know it can't be me
 sometimes I just feel too much
 and i dont' want to feel at all
 he said to his friends, "come on, let's go
 I'll take you to the *shoulder*."
 they said, "no no, look here my friend,
 you make me feel much older."
 they left him alone sitting on the road
 you know, his head was full of bourbon (barber?)
 little did he know they'd never see
 *they wanting you so well* --- THIS LINE SO WRONG - help?
 and who's gonna pay your bills today
 and who's gonna turn the girls away
 and who's gonna make you feel ok
 and who's gonna take your pills today
 and you know it can't be me
 yea you know it can't be me
 sometimes I just feel too much
 and i dont' want to feel at all
