Pill

Why am i confused?why am i misunderstood?
i know i have to work, i do everything that i should,
i don't drink to get drunk, i drink to relax,
i pay my bills, i pay my tax,
still don't seem to get anywhere, fast or slow,
i really don't know which way to go,
my wish is to make good, do it right,
why is life just a never-ending fight?
one gets ahead slow but sure,
but alas one always seem to be poor,
pay for the house, pay for the car,
hard earned money, never goes far,
there has to be an easier way,
just to get by day after day,
is the answer drugs? is it in booze?
what is right? what is wrong? how do you choose?
always being told what to do, which way to go,
i really don't know,
being lost, being confused,
being treated wrong and abused,
just being used in every way,
all i want is things be normal for just one day,
life is normal, it will never be good,
so we just go on doing the things we should,
to keep thing quiet, and tranquil,
we just swallow life's bitter pill.
