My name's Jack Strive, I'm 83 I sit in my house, just a-watchin' the TV Yeah, I look outside and see the kids tear my lawn Little punks - don't respect the land they're on Well I'm sick of these brats and I wanna kick their ass What the hell good Does someone hear the cries or see the fears or heal the pains Of old Strive's blues - no, no I've got one friend left in life, his name's Jack too And we meet, whenever I'm feeling blue Yeah, I take him down from the shelf on the wall Get drunk as hell, we have a ball The doc says if I don't stop drinking I don't have long All the better for me I'll soon see my family Everything that I have loved has died away and I'm here all alone Yeah, not one call - no one writes For 41 years Strive has crawled into his empty bed at night Car wreck took his drunk boy too age 21 Why not take old Strive instead - my boy was so young Strive cares for nothing on this earth anymore Why was he left to live on Not a soul to share my misery - I drink alone Sometimes I wonder if I live my hell right here at home No souls care, no one sees, the incredible intensity of inner pain Strive's sorrows are built up in his heart one by one But they're too busy to care You little fucker, I told you to get off my lawn, and now you're going to pay the price
