    “Reversal of Fortune”

    This reversal of fortune
    Like a horror is torture
    Turned him, burned him
    Torched him and scorched him
    Ordinary man
    Magic numbers at hand
    Stacks of fucking money
    Tips Hookers a grand
    Family calling pleading
    All his friends always needing
    Turn it off, make it stop
    Now he’s bleeding and bleeding

    Who knew this
    He don’t deserve this
    Thought money served a purpose
    Looks good on the surface
    But it makes him so nervous
    Got him down deep
    Now it’s made him imperfect
    Starts bouncing checks
    Bills he neglects
    Starts losing it all
    What the fuck’d you expect

    Like a dope
    With no hope
    End up broke
    Lock, stock and barrel
    Can’t walk the straight and narrow
    Staring straight into both barrels
    Can’t wait till tomorrow
    No, he won’t see tomorrow
    Reversal of fortune
    Brings on the sorrow
    Brings on the sorrow

    Cars, lawyers and whores
    Toys for his boys
    Night clubs and back rubs
    Fine jewelry stores
    Still ramped up from his last bump
    Mind numbed and fucked up
    Sees treachery and deceit
    Everywhere that he looks
    Thought it was good luck
    But it aint, it’s all fucked up
    Reversal of fortune
    Fortunately, times almost up

    Like a dope
    With no hope
    End up broke
    Lock, stock and barrel
    Can’t walk the straight and narrow
    Staring straight into both barrels
    Can’t wait till tomorrow
    No, he won’t see tomorrow
    Reversal of fortune
    Brings on the sorrow
    Brings on the sorrow

That's great Brian and so true, it's funny what money fortune and fame can do. Applaud! And happy Birthday. My hubby's was 1/31 . Poor guy is feeling older. I'm 43 and he just turned 49. I had to mess with him though so I got him a champagne cake w the grim reeper with his scythe hooked through the 0 on 50 as he's climbing the hill from 49. I had them custom make it for him. He just smiled and shook his head. After 23 years you tend to understand each others sick humor. Lol

I know EXACTLY where You got the inspiration for this one----
About half way thru--it hit me like a flash of lightening.
And sometimes folks see the light and turn on the 360 "Reversal of Fortune" again---coming out of the darkness a little bit scathed---but a much better Soul for it.
They are wiser--more mature--and feel more Blessed with little things that never really mattered to them before.
Your writing is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!! ~Brian :-)
Where can I apply to sing some of Your stuff???? :-)
~Tee-hee :-) I am seriously--serious!!!!! ~Lol :-)

Just send me your Resume' and application (kidding). This song is actually about a dude who wins the lottery and can't deal with it. Popped in my head this morning on my Birthday, still feeling a little fuzzy from too much Canadian. Thanks Donna. Get with your Dad and try to put your spin on it.
