Fifty and Nine Lyrics:

You've got fifty dollars
You're smiling, You're holding
You're going down to the
Liquor store to buy a bottle
He’ll give you anything
You want it, you got it
Then you can wash away
All of your thoughts and your pain
Oh the shame

You’ve got not control
You lost it, you want it
Not gonna find it down
In the bottom of a bottle
I know that things get worse
Everyday
She took the house and kids
She left you out in the rain
Oh the shame

Didn’t your mom tell you when
You get dealt a hand
That you just can’t win
Pick up your head and go

Now you think about
All the things that you wanted
It wasn’t supposed to be
Quite like this
Now was it?
Working fifty hours
Still got empty pockets
And everyday?
Well it feels like it’s the same
Oh the shame

Driving fifty miles
Everyday just to get a
Paycheck to pay
For the car that you live in
No wonder you
Drown away all your sorrows
I bet you are so
Sick of playing the game
Oh the shame

Didn’t your mom tell you when
You get dealt a hand
That you just can’t win
Pick up your head and go

Have you ever wanted to be
Someone else instead?

So just keep screaming
Oh, Oh God! Please save me…
