It's Not Fun


I used to do the laundry every night
I used to feed the dogs and play with them
I used to get the mail before anyone else
But now all of that's changed.

I don't do the laundry because I hurt
I don't feed the dogs or play with them
I am the last to see the mail, because of my pain

Oh Oh Oh Oh You don't know how it feels
You know how much I push myself (push myself)
You may say all I do is bitch and cry (bitch and cry)
But you have no right.  How dare you question me

All I do is sit on my computer, it is my only friend
All I do is wish, dream, and think of a new life
All I so is watch comedy shows, trying to laugh

There are tougher men and women out there
They've fought fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes
There are tougher men and women out there
They have fought for our freedoms and our rights

Those are the ones I wish I were.
To be able to fight for what I've got is what I want
But instead

I don't do the laundry because I hurt
I don't feed the dogs or play with them
I am the last to see the mail, because of my pain

You may say that I need to push myself
Get a job, go to a club, get out on my own
And I say to you that if I could do that, I would
If only I could have a job, go to a club, and be on my own

It's no fun not being able to play with your niece and nephews
It's no fun not being able to clean my room
It's not fun riding in a handicap cart at Wal-Mart

So I ask from you
Yeah I need cash.
Yeah I need a roof over my head.
Yeah I need a vehicle.

But what I want most is something everyone can give and that's just love and understanding
If you can't give it to me, then I'll sit and wonder why
Why did I thought you would care 2 cents about me
Why have I been stricken with such a horrible disease

It's no fun not being able to play with your niece and nephews
It's no fun not being able to clean my room
It's not fun riding in a handicap cart at Wal-Mart


Sincerely Yours,
