I've Had Enough Lyrics - Dean Friedman

By dean friedman 

I was only four when my father left home. 

Little baby sister, mama and me. 

They were only children when they got married. 

How they gonna raise a family? 

Daddy got a job in a canned good factory 

Working like a fool day after day. 

Coming home to tv thrills and doctor bills 

Till he had to take a cut in pay. he said, 

I've had enough. I've had enough. 

I've had enough. I've had enough. 

I was always trouble when I was in school. 

Someone always making me tow the line. 

Finally went and told the bastard where to go. 

He can get theirs, but he can't touch mine. 

I was in the army when I was sixteen. 

All the rain I thought it would never stop 

Brought away an armload of souvenirs and 

Now you know I still can't find a job. I said, 

I've had enough. I've had enough. 

I've had enough. I've had enough. 

Help me. help me. help me. help me. I don't want to hurt. 

I have always done my best. but nothing seems to work. nothing seems to work. 

I was never asking for charity, 

Only that I get what I have earned 

And that I be treated with respect 

And God knows why but you've still not learned. 

I am not a liar or insincere. 

I have always treated you people fair. 

There were times I turned my whole self inside out but damn it 

You never seemed to care. now, 

I've had enough. I've had enough. 

I've had enough. I've had enough.
