A Piece of Me Lyrics
The I.R.S. bled me dry
They left me no tears to cry
They laughed and said ‘What’s yours is mine’
Men in suits do legal crimes
Worked my fingers to the bone
To keep this house as a home
The banker wants to take the keys
My ex wants more alimony
Everyone you see
Wants a piece of me
Everyone you see
Wants a piece of me
From the first day I was born
I’ve been sailing through the storm
Ship wreck me on some desert Isle
No one near for mile after mile
You come here and shake my hand
You want my home you want my land
And you think that I can’t see
Your mask of false sincerity
Everyone you see
Wants a piece of me
Everyone you see
Wants a piece of me
‘Better to give than to receive’
Said some guy hung by a thief
How much more can anyone give
How do you expect me just to live?
You want my mind you want my time
You say ‘Come on write me a rhyme’
Well you ask so much of me
But that is not my cup of tea
Everyone you see
Wants a piece of me
Everyone you see
Wants a piece of me
Paul Robert Thomas
