Punchdrunk
It wore him down; his head was hanging sideways,
his lids were slits.
This happened almost nightly now.
He raised the gloves and waited for another round.
He waited for the bell to ring,
he prayed the lord would save his eyes.
He heard church-folk swaying and sighing,
"it's all right". He liked his kids,
he liked his sky-blue Valiant, he liked the pay.
"The boss' fine young talent" they all would say.
And just a pension later he'll be free,
do what he wants. Bereave the dream, now sleep,
now slowly die. (Lie l-lie, lie l-lie lie lie l-lie)

Ends some people would rob their mother for the ends
Rat snitch on one another for the ends
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further I want my ends.....
I knew this cat named Dell he didn't have a dollar
He was Harvard material Ivy League scholar
Had a PHD an MBA but now he's waiting tables cause there's rent ta
pay
Company's downsizing Inflation's rising
Can't find a job, he's feeling kinda stressed
Doesn't even feel the effects when he says
Forgot to count how many times he been blessed
So he falls of track,
Rat snitch on one another for the ends
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
