Havent Been Down by Megan Slankard Lyrics

These walls are 'specially thin
I guess I paid for the room that I'm in
Hear the neighbors fight in the hall
Turn up this song 'til someone bangs on the wall
€œHey! cut that out!” “hey! turn that down!”

I said, “what's up? how's it goin'? what's been happening my man? yo!”
But what I really meant to say was just “hello”
I said, “things been good, things been great, I've been having a good time!”
When you asked me how I was
Actually I'm fine

I have not been down
I have not been down

The train goes by this complex
At a quarter to four and a quarter to six
I guess I'm just sluggish tonight
I slept through the rain, the alarm, and the neighbors' fights

I have not heard a sound
Either someone's out washing their car
Or I hope it isn't raining too hard

I've got a plastic plant in my room
They don't let you have real ones 'cause I guess they pollute
I really love this cool time of year
I really wish you'd wish you were here
I'm either 15 minutes late and I'll whine
Or maybe for a change the clock is on time

Either someone's out there singing in the rain
Or they're taking a bath while getting air play
Either someone's out there smiling or the sun's out there
Either you folks bought me a new car
Or the rain washed it and you don't care

When I wake I guess I'll call sick and play hurt
It's too perfectly fine morning to waste at work
I don't like to complain but these are the facts
I'd rather eat spam than pay the tax

I have not been down, I have not been down
I have not been down, I have had a little luck
I have not, I have not, I have not been down. .
I just have not been up
