Shit Out of Luck
Here I sit.
A broken hearted schlub.
Poisioning my brainwashed mind.
On whiskey, coke and rum.
Just a fool.
Who's lost his love.
So what's a man like me to do.
Still head over heels.
For a girl like you.
So won't you take my heart tonight.
Make me feel all right.
If you leave me here to doubt.
I'm shit out of luck.
Clean out of time.
And half way out.
Of my mind.
I must be out of my mind.
Cuz I gave you love.
But you never gave me none.
And you took my heart.
And forgot to leave me some.
Now I feel I'm running.
On borrowed time.
Don't leave me bitting bullets.
From a barrel of a gun.
I just wanted to make you mine.
So won't you take my heart tonight.
Make me feel all right.
If you leave me here to doubt.
I'm shit out of luck.
Clean out of time.
And half way out.
Of my mind.
I must be out of my mind.
I gambled with my heart.
And you never played me nice.
You threw it all away.
On one roll of the dice.
I tried to play the king of hearts.
But you the joker.
Just tore our love apart.
So won't you take my heart tonight.
Make me feel all right.
If you leave my love to doubt.
I'm shit out of luck.
Clean out of time.
And half way out.
Of my mind.
I must be out of my mind.
Cuz I got some homes.
I can afford the cars.
And push comes to shove.
I got the money.
More then plenty enough.
But it really means nothing to me.
If I ain't got the love.
So won't you take my heart tonight.
Make me feel all right.
If you leave my love to doubt.
I'm shit out of luck.

these are the lines that really annoyed me as i spent three months last year doing volunteer work in calcutta for a communist organistion,if you seen depths of poverty that i seen and the lengths people will go get few extra bob,the squalor in which they live,the smell of the open sewers;
everyday people trying to raise enough money just to feed their families a real hand to mouth existence
my comment was just knee jerk reaction no offence intended,just people in the first world d'ont know how lucky we are,our problems are more the angst of middle classes rather than struggle of survival.

i wish what you wrote was true and that capitalism would deliver on what it's promises but the reality can be seen on any street homelessness,drug abuse prisons bursting at the seams,the US has the health system based on wealth
can't afford insurance and you get a serious ill
your as good as dead,inner city schools breeding ground for gang,crap minimum wage the destruction of environment,the working class surviving on KFC and other such crap and rise of diabetes ,and list can go on.
only by workers organising and putting pressure
on government can we break the stranglehold
big business has on levers of power,the bottom line for capitalism is profit not the improvement of society so as long everything stays the same it suits corporate america just fine,
and to say that socialism leads to tyranny and evil is just wrong,nearly every country in europe uses a socialist model in it's governance,
N.korea is fascist country under guise of communism as were the former eastern bloc
freedom ain't freedom when your back is against
the wall
all the best
