Chris Presnell Studios - Bottom of the Barrel Lyrics

The bills aren't paid and they're overdue and you just lost your job
Your girl walked out on you last night and your apartment just got robbed
You're luck's run out with everything you try. It's not workin' anymore
You try, you lose, and try again. You lose the battle and the war

You've reached the bottom of the barrel
Times like these can break you down
You've reached the bottom of the barrel
It can't get worse than this

The cops don't care; not paid enough; won't patrol my neighborhood
The Government takes what I have left; won't help me when they should
The Repo man might've took my car. It was only the other day
So many bad things always happen to me. Why won't it ever go my way

You've reached the bottom of the barrel
Times like these can break you down
You've reached the bottom of the barrel
It can't get worse than this

Don't give up; don't lose your way
Don't forget the light of day
Nighttime comes; it too shall pass
The coming dawn will close the past

The present is like a faceless mirror; forget the past; no good
The past reflects into the future arriving sooner than it should
Step by step gets you through the mud getting deeper all the time
Smash the mirror to break the chain. Get a better state of mind

You've reached the bottom of the barrel
Times like these can break you down
You've reached the bottom of the barrel
It can't get worse than this

Don't give up; don't lose your way
Don't forget the light of day
Nighttime comes; it too shall pass
The coming dawn will close the past
