Old 97's - Over The Cliff Lyrics
Words and music by jon langfordWell i worked hard and i got lots of moneyWell i tried hard but i don't wanna stayYeah i've seen too much trouble, i felt too much pressure bubbleI knew there had to be a better wayI wouldn't hide if you thought i was worth itYou'd smack me down when i misbehaveBut everybody knows that i've got flunkies here in towTo clean up all the messes that i've madeChorus:I'm going over the cliffI'm going over the cliffAnd it's hard to tell if life is a burden or a giftYeah i'm going over the cliffForgive me or forget me everybodyWell i guess i always had this honest streakYeah i'm sick of all the yawning, the *****ing, and the bawlingI'm sick of feeling powerless and weakPlease don't call me cool just call me "*****"'cause i will be a beggar not a kingAnd the devil don't care if you're a fish or your're a stick (chip)Yeah i'm going over the cliffChorusWell in new york and l.a. they're sending faxesSo the company can wash its hands of thisYeah there was no one there to look after me or careWell i'm going over the cliffI'm going over the cliffI'm going over the cliffYeah success on someone else's terms don't mean a *****ing thingI'm going over the cliffThat's right, success on someone else's terms don't mean a *****ing thingI'm going over the cliffI'm going over the cliffI'm going over the cliff
