Dole Life

Life on the Dole,
Isn’t funny.
Bags of time,
Never any money.
Wife and kids,
No-where to turn.
Life’s no fun,
No money to burn


Only one way out,
To end it all.
I’ll pass the gun,
As I start to fall.
Hope someone stops me,
Not a chance.
To all those who screwed me,
Thanks



Pull back the safety,
Hear it click.
Barrel in mouth,
That’s the trick.
Tears in eyes,
Pull the trigger.
Goodbye darling,
Hope It's Quick.
