I said
Look a me with my makeup messed
I feel so ugly I've never been kissed
Hey God can you make it all go away
[Verse]
Everyday it's the same damn thing
I wake up draggin' this ball and chain
I keep on looking for a piece of the action
But I just can't get ahead
[Chorus]
He said, if I had a gun
I'd have me some fun
I'd shoot everyone
Who pisses me off today
So don't piss me off today
Look at me I'm all screwed up
I've banged my head I'm stuck in a rut
So hey God, can you make it all go away
[Verse]
And all the crap goin' in my head
Makes me crazy, makes me see red
I keep on looking for a piece of the action
But I can't get ahead
[Chorus]
He said, if I had a gun
I'd have me some fun
I'd shoot everyone
Who pisses me off today
And he said, I want to go home
'Cause I know I can't take anymore
So don't piss me off today
I said
Look a me with my makeup messed
I feel so ugly I've never been kissed
Hey God can you make it all go away
