A Dozen Good Reasons To Weep - The Rumjacks

I’ve a dozen good reasons to weep

To dog my every waking hour and haunt me where I sleep

But you’re gettin' me low with your litany of woe

There’s others torn to bits and cop it sweet

For those who’ve travelled far and wide and come home empty handed

For those who’ve left us way too early and never having found it

For what draws us together and what drives us apart

Street food for the soul and good medicine for the heart

Dozen good reasons to

Dozen good reasons to

Dozen good reasons to weep

Everybody look at me, come shower me in your sympathy

I’ve laid it bare for all to share my pain

I’m failures very progeny, a walking feckin' tragedy

A curse it is to speak my rotten name

Dozen good reasons to

Dozen good reasons to weep

I’ve got a lotta teeth for a smartarse

I’ve got a lotta gumption for a fool

Well I’ve got a lot to say about the state of us today

But it’s not my job to take your arse to school
