"4 + 20" lyrics
(originally by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)
Four and twenty years ago
I come into this life
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more
A different kind of poverty now upsets me so
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away, is she gone?
Morning turns to sunrise
And I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head
I embrace the many coloured beast
I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing
That my life would simply cease
I come into this life
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more
A different kind of poverty now upsets me so
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away, is she gone?
Morning turns to sunrise
And I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head
I embrace the many coloured beast
I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing
That my life would simply cease
