Detroit Social Work

F# B I wish I had a reason for feeling how I feel C# D#m B I wish there was a purpose or a meaning or something F# I wish that when I did feel great B It lasted more than just a day C# D#m B And I didn’t go straight back to feeling miserable F# And the part of my brain that functions wrong B Well, I can’t articulate it into a song C# D#m B But the day that it happens, I will retire from music B F# And your mind is like a town with next to no funding D#m C# No public education, garbage dumps, or policemen B F# So your trash piles up all the way to the treetops D#m And for the life of you C# You just can’t get that smell out of your mouth B F# So you try and you try, you think you might die D#m C# You swim through the wasteland, vomiting and crying B F# Just to make it, just to make it, just to make it to the welfare department
