Ballad of a Sad Man Lyrics

I sleep in today

My loved ones are away

My pockets no pay, my wallet no pay

I sleep in today

While everyone is away

My pockets no pay, my wallet no pay

In the past, no one knew

That I suffered and I hurt

How could you have a clue

I wasn't an extrovert

I had things in my life

That are deeply disturbed

Like a small pocketknife

Are you only perturbed

I sleep in today

My loved ones are away

My pockets no pay

My pockets are very shallow and have no money in them

I sleep in today

As I do every other day

My wallet no pay

My wallet no money

I see

People tend to be ignorant constantly

Of the crimes against me

How can I go on

It's difficult to carry on

Oh, I know

I think I gotta go

Shh

I sleep in today

My loved ones are away

My pockets no pay, my wallet no pay

I sleep in today

While everyone is away

My pockets have no money

My wallet has very little money

I had things in my life

That are deeply disturbed

Like a large metal knife

Are you only perturbed

How can I go on

It's difficult to carry on

Oh, I know

I think I gotta go
