You dont see me when Im
trying to do right
Maybe you can see me now

When I was walking,
patting my feet on the pavement
Really, truly trying to find a gig
Did you stand up and speak
out in my favor?
Cold desperation,
shes a devil in bed
Scratching till my bones are bare
Pill and needles are all Ive left to savor

We were walking and
I told you of how my shoes
Of how my shoes were wearing thin
You took your surplus and
traded for a favor
Now Im demented and Im
burned unto a cinder
Forty hours buys a grocery
bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made
myself a sinner
Will this universe be merciful at last?

You dont see me.



You dont see me
I get so tired of trying to
attract your attention
It has occurred to me that
you dont see me

You should go ahead.
Im a-gonna-go-ahead
I know youre going to ahead
Youre going to do what
youre going to do
I know, see, I see you, I watch you
You take the money and run

You take groceries and run, too
Dont leave nothing left for me
Youre running and hiding
and ducking and hiding
And running and hiding and
I cant find you nowhere
Ill beat your mama,
Ill beat your daddy
Ill go to jail,
it dont make no mothafugging
Difference what happens to me
Going to be there in my
own time, in my own way
Cause you dont see me,
you dont see me
Im, Im in your mirror
