Kicked in the teeth

Verse 1 – spoken
I’m forty-two, been working since I was a kid,
Busted my back for scraps, gave more than I ever did.
Every fing job, every boss with a grin,
Told me “be patient” then stitched me again.
I never asked for much, just food on the plate,
But this world spits on you if you’re not great.
You play it straight, they twist you for fun,
I’m left with f all when the day is done.

Pre-Chorus – bitter
All I ever tried was to make ends meet,
But life keeps kicking me in the teeth.

Chorus – chant
F*** this world, it never gave s***,
Turned me inside out, tore me to bits.
I bleed, I sweat, I break, I fight,
But it’s never enough, not once in my life.
F*** this world, I’m tired of pain,
Tired of being the one they blame.

Verse 2 – spoken
They call me names, they call me weak,
But they’ve never walked where the floorboards creak.
Nights with no sleep, bills unpaid,
Smiling outside but inside I fade.
Friends disappear, family strain,
Everything built gets pissed down the drain.
They point their fingers, say I’m not right,
But I’ve been in the dark while they bask in the light.

Pre-Chorus – angry
All I ever wanted was a little relief,
But life keeps kicking me in the teeth.

Chorus – chant
F*** this world, it never gave s***,
Turned me inside out, tore me to bits.
I bleed, I sweat, I break, I fight,
But it’s never enough, not once in my life.
F*** this world, I’m tired of pain,
Tired of being the one they blame.

Bridge – whispered harsh
Forty-two years, nothing to show,
Except a list of debts and scars that grow.
If kindness was money, I’d be rich as f***,
But this world runs on greed, on hate, on luck.

Final Chorus – layered & raw
F*** this world, it never gave s***,
Turned me inside out, tore me to bits.
I bleed, I sweat, I break, I fight,
But it’s never enough, not once in my life.
F*** this world, I won’t pretend,
If this is the game, then this is the end.

Outro – whispered
kicked in the teeth… left in the dirt…
kicked in the teeth… nothing but hurt…
