Finnegan's Hell Lyrics - What Have You Got in the End?

Finnegan's Hell - What Have You Got in the End?

My father worked until he died
A struggle all the way
He would never catch his breath
Until his dying day
My mother tried to raise us
Doing odd jobs on the side
They treated her like dirt
In the end she lost her pride

You scrape to get by
And you will till you die
But what have you got in the end?
Yeah, you scrape to get by
And you will till you die
Tell me what have you got in the end?
Can't take nothin' with you, my friend

My brother's working overtime
To pay all his bills
His house, car, tuition fees,
His wife's prescription pills
According to statistics
He's happier than most
I saw him just the other day
The man looked like a ghost

So whatcha gonna do
With all your hopes and dreams?
There ain't no use in crying for help
Cause no one hears your screams
I try to stay away from work
I do the best I can
In order not to turn into
A wreck like my old man
