lyrics

Don’t my shoes fit?
Try them on, oh, try them on
Don’t my feet itch?
When there’s so much to be running from
The chunk and the change in my pocket

Could be simple
How I want it, how I want it
Could be harder
Do I really think I could be paying off
The chunk with the change in my pocket?

I won’t touch your tea If you don’t touch my coffee
There’s a hole in my cup and ash at my feet
And Eliza won’t fix it, it’s all up to me,
My personal Jesus is coked up in the bathroom
Singing All my trials, All my trials

He’s a drinker
Like the rest of my friends
It’s nothing holy
Just a means to an end
The chunk and the way I can’t stop it

But they got eyes on me
And I see it, I see it
It’s all family
It’s enough to make up for
The chunk and the way I can’t stop it

I won’t touch your tea If you don’t touch my coffee
There’s a hole in my cup and ash at my feet
And Eliza won’t fix it, it’s all up to me,
My personal Jesus is coked up in the bathroom
Singing All my trials, All my trials
All my trials, all my trials
All my trials to me
