Slow Kill

There's no such thing as a satisfied mind

And my heavy heart's hung out on a clothes line

Seems every day gets a little bit colder

And I know things are bad, things are bad all over

Hell is empty and the devil is Zeus

God loves a rich man and that's the gospel truth

And I'd ask Jesus to help me along

But tell me, what good's praying ever done?

And it's just my luck and it's just as well

Life ain't nothin' but a slow kill

Darkness and doubt, it ain't nothin' new

Appalachian Gold gonna help me get through

Government man says it's a better day

Pissin' on my shoes, telling me there's rain

And it's just my luck and it's just as well

Life ain't nothin' but a slow kill

Too many good-hearted people livin' on the edge

Walkin' around like we're already dead

Day-in and day-out it's the same routine

It's no big joke in the American Dream

Bottles coming fast, don't break my fall

I just wanna feel somethin' at all

And it's just my luck

And it's just as well

Life ain't nothin' but a slow kill

And it's just my luck and it's just as well

Life ain't nothin' but a slow kill
