Feet
By Amanda Eaton
Feet dance around
And make you sound
Feet walk and run
Don’t make fun
Feet don’t see the light
Don’t give them a freight
Make sure you treat them right.
Life’s a bitch
By Amanda Eaton
Life is a bitch
When you end up in a ditch
See people for who they are
See your future from afar.
Life is a bitch
When you have that sinking nitch.
Look at what you could’ve been
Give me something before I’m seen.
Life is a bitch
Life is a sales pitch
Don’t sell yourself short
Be sure to get that grade A report
Life is a bitch
Doing laundry is such a stitch
Fix that button; make sure it’s right
Put the dinner on, food in sight.
Life is a bitch
When you get yourself hitched
Then come babies, and your sunk
Make sure that thing stays in his trunk
Life is a bitch
When you’re old and look like a witch
Son and daughters all grew up
Left alone to die
Life’s a bitch
