I was usually good citizen
Always tried to do the right thing
Never punched nobody in the jaw
Kept to the right of the right wing
I waited my turn in line
I waited for the world to shift
I did the best that I could do
And all I got was this parting gift
I deserved what I had coming
Some kind of reward for all my toil
But I got skipped on the breadline of life
And man that has made my blood boil
I was never mean or foul-mouthed
Never talked trash or spoke out of turn
And yet life completely passed me by
While others got their big return
