Brendan James - Dirty Living Lyrics
I said to my brotherLife is not freeHe said call me weak,But for once I'm proud of meWhat you proud of, who you stand forNot the Lord aboveDirty living got you giving never enoughMy sister named MariaShe caught a bright, early sunWith sin, and with loveLike a tattoo on her armShe couldn't find no separationBetween loving life and loveDirty living got her giving never enoughBlame it on the doctor,He never healed your pleasBlame it on your mother,She never saw your needsLooking up to heaven, I tell youSinner, you've got to believeLive like a fool,You'll get what's coming to youLike an angel, came his motherShe said one more second chanceShe pleaded with Jesus said,Make my boy a manThough he loved her, he abused herStole her wallet, jewels and used herDirty living got him digging for a resolutionShe walked with less prideThan one tiger, no stripesShe cried like a babyOn the first of newborn nightsShe never let nobody tell a girlMore loving brings more painDirty living got her breakingHearts and souls the sameBlame it on the doctor,He never healed your pleas, yeahBlame it on your mother,She never saw your needsLooking up to heaven, I tell youSinner, you've got to believeYa live like a fool,You'll get what's coming to youIn in the back streets of their broken townOn a corner with no nameThese two, unworthy, two unfaithful wanderersMeet face to faceThey fall in love, they run awayThey find they're both one in the sameBut it backfires, with their lying andUnwillingness to changeBlame it on the doctor,He never healed your pleas, yeahBlame it on your mother,She never saw your needsYou looking up to heaven, I tell youSinner, you've got to believeLive like a fool,You'll get what's coming to you
