Strain of Cancer by Michigan Rattlers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well my lawyer walked in the room
He said sit down son I ain't got good news
Well she's takin' your kid away
Yeah and now you gotta pay
But my boss just cut my hours
And I've been feelin' weak
My baby knows how I've been feelin'
Yeah why she wanna do this to me

[Verse 2]
I think she tried to make it work
But it was her momma standin' in the way
Yeah she never did like my guitar
She always called me a mistake
But she got a grandchild out of me
And some photo albums sittin' on the shelf
So how mad can she really be
Turns out she's mad and mad as hell

[Chorus]
Yeah well I'm a natural disaster
I'll tear down your house
Yeah well I'm a strain of cancer
I ain't good for no one else
[Verse 3]
And I've been going out at night
Lookin' for what lead me astray
And I come back with worn out excuses
Maybe it's the night that took it all away
And I got next to nothing in my bank account
But I got some friends that bail me out
It's a hard life I tell you
Livin' hand to mouth

[Chorus]
Yeah well I'm a natural disaster
I'll tear down your house
Yeah well I'm a strain of cancer
I ain't good for no one else

[Verse 4]
Now I'm walking down North Avenue
On a cold cold day
Down below is Chicago River
Down below is where I think I'd like to stay
So I jumped right in
'Cause I don't wanna disappoint no more
All the memories have turned into nightmares
I think my welcome's been well-worn
[Chorus]
Yeah well I'm a natural disaster
I'll tear down your house
Yeah well I'm a strain of cancer
I ain't good for no one else
Yeah I ain't even good for my own damn self
I ain't good for no one else
