Twenty-six 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 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      I've been seeing this   Shit for some time   We 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      One day   He said things are gonna change   One day   When I've got things squared away   Yeah one day   Soon turns into the next   One day were the words he said with his last breath      Take good care of yourself   I've been seeing this   Shit for some time   We 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      1992 Paul walks into a liquor store   With an unloaded pistol   No need to say more   His life ended in that tragic way   No one cared for him   Not one to this day      One day   He said things are gonna change   Yeah one day   When I've got things squared away   Yeah one day   Soon turns into the next   One day were the words he said with his last breath      One day   Things are gonna change   One day   When I've got things squared away   One day   Soon turns into the next   One day
