Two Wastes of Life

i know she's pushed around

i know she's hit around

i know she's pushed around
and hit around - again

it feels like it's never gonna end

it's probably never gonna end

she don't wanna tell
so she lives in hell

she lives in hell
and will probably never tell

she thinks she needs him
always cooks and feeds him

she's captured and surrendered
and treated worse than a dog

no matter what she does
it's not good enough

no matter what he'd ever say
it's not good enough

no matter what he'd ever do
it's not good enough

it's not normal - it's not right
it's wrong & two wastes of life

best of the roses, john french
