Rock Bottom

Yo yo,

 

This is for all the people who feel at their lowest,i feel you…..

 

(INTRO)

 

We are all equal,we are all responsible for actions we take,

i understand the need to rid hate

from this world…..but we are taking dads from their boys or girls

people sitting by watching as soldiers indulge 

people sitting by watching their pockets bulge

 

 

(CHORUS)

 

rock bottom at the foot of the hill

rock bottom feet firm standing still

stuck in the mud no moving forwards

hierarchy living by different standards

rock bottom (x2)

 

(VERSE 1)

 

rock bottom is where the poor girl stands 

flag of the nation with her mans blood in her hands

tears fall as she catches his smell

cut down in his prime no chance to excel

no chance to be a dad see his baby grow up tall

miss the chance to hear the first word miss out seeing the first crawl

but no….she’s alone in this hopeless struggle

her one love taken when his base was blown down to rubble

high school sweethearts gone ripped and shredded

1:53pm was the moment the letter came she dreaded

didn’t want to look she knew what was inside

just hugged the letter and she sat and she cried

for hours and hours she couldn’t think

cries getting louder drink after drink

kids came home to see their mummy slumped

kids taken into care as she gets her stomach pumped

she’s at rock bottom

 

(CHORUS)

 

rock bottom at the foot of the hill

rock bottom feet firm standing still

stuck in the mud no moving forwards

hierarchy living by different standards

rock bottom (x2)

 

(VERSE 2)

 

rock bottom no money to live not a penny to give

to the savages who take without a thought

not using the money to help survivors of the war

big bank bonuses and healthy hand-outs

drown out the sick and homelessness cry outs

on the streets no thought about their health

3 jobs and pregnant stacking the shelves

to provide the right up-bringing of her family

her fiance killed in battle,unexplained tragedy

taken from her and his kids,but she didn’t get any help

should of been looked after,but had to continue stacking shelfs

in a supermarket instead her fiancé’s medals at home

but she sleeps under the stars,protecting her children from the cold

 

(CHORUS)

 

rock bottom at the foot of the hill

rock bottom feet firm standing still

stuck in the mud no moving forwards

hierarchy living by different standards

rock bottom (x2)

 

(VERSE 3)

 

rock bottom is where she is no longer staying

3 bedroom house and garden to play in

kids looking healthy and colour in their cheeks

dwelled on this decision for weeks and weeks

received a settlement for the tragic loss

the offer was laughable and made her cross….

that she had to accept it just to survive

it kept her and her kids safe and alive

a pioneer to all people a hero to some

but this what we call an everyday mum

the fights and battles to put her kids through school

but its the celebs with loads of money who get labelled cool

the real soldiers are right at home at night

tucking their children in bed and saying goodnight
