One Day Lyrics
26 and Paul wants a great life, a good paying job, a nice house, a kid, a pretty wife.
He can’t hold a job, he never has and knows he never will.
He plays the lottery and blames his problems on the world.
I’ve been seeing this shit for some time
We’ve all got our problems,
I guess we’ve all got our needs.
I’ve been seeing this shit for some time,
Take good care of yourself.
First of the month and the rent is due again
Checking his savings, he’s got pocket lint to spend
Down on his luck with no tears to spare
Desperation motivates a mind not clear
One day, he said things are gonna change
One day, when I’ve got things squared away
One day, soon turns into the next
One day, were the words he said with his last breath
1992 Paul walks into a liquor store with an unloaded pistol
I don’t need to say more, His life ended in that tragic way,
No one cried for him, not one to this day
He can’t hold a job, he never has and knows he never will.
He plays the lottery and blames his problems on the world.
We’ve all got our problems,
I guess we’ve all got our needs.
I’ve been seeing this shit for some time,
Take good care of yourself.
Checking his savings, he’s got pocket lint to spend
Down on his luck with no tears to spare
Desperation motivates a mind not clear
One day, when I’ve got things squared away
One day, soon turns into the next
One day, were the words he said with his last breath
I don’t need to say more, His life ended in that tragic way,
No one cried for him, not one to this day

This song is pretty sad. About someone down on their luck. You know when everything just seems to go wrong and you think that nothing can be done to fix it. Well i've had those times and this motivated me to get my shit together.
Yeah, this song is pretty sad.. but this song is still good, need I say more? :)
