Lyrics

Livin'At The Mission
So long mother-say good-bye to Jim
I can't stay another minute-in the state I'm in I don't like school-can't find a job Ma you drink too much-and Jim's a slob
Everybody hates me-there's no one around
I can't stay another minute-in this crummy old town I had no friend-'til Benny called
If I go to Hell-I know I'll see you all
It ain't no fun Livin'At The Mission no more
The curtains broke-they're pukin' on the floor
The wine's gone bad-the T.V.s out
The French fries stink-the helpers shout
No it ain't no fun Livin'At The Mission no more
We use plastic forks-no plastic knives We gotta broken plates anda broken lives
I'd like to be in school-maybe volunteer
Ma you drinkin'less?-now Jim's disappeared
It ain't no fun-I'm on my own
I'm so messed up-I can't go home
