Julies song. The things we do to stay afloat. Wishing for a better time, and a little noisy wanda jackson style vocal helped her get it out!
lyrics
Success and money
And a great life for everyone else
Vacations new cars
Happiness and laughter for everyone else
Why not me? Down on bended knees. Why not me?
I’m lonely going broke, getting older and left behind
Why not me?
Pretty and young
Tall and slim that’s all of them
Fashionable clothes
from their heads to their toes, that’s all of them
My clothes are old, my jewelry is sold
no pretty things to wear anymore
I wish my life were different full of high hopes
That is all for them Don't you know Solos (chorus)
Hopeful and satisfied
On top of the world, or so it seems
Confident and sanctified
Got the tiger by the tail, or so it seems
Bitter and angry
Daily reminded that “you are not one of us”
Self serving and shallow
If I could I’d stomp your playground into dust!
