Living in the Muck

Dedicated to Schroeder

It's a crazy world full of misfortune

It's a messy system full of mistakes

Those on the top came from luck

And those on the bottom live in the muck

Schroeder was from a small family

The family held a small farm

The small farm was stuck in the tune

Misfortune makes it so you have nothing to lose

Schroeder had an idea of humor 

And he had a laugh and a smile like no other

Schroeder had a loving family 

Standing for themselves and no other

They knew it wasn't easy- as it was never meant to be

Mistakes tell you what you're about to lose

Schroeder may have been a friend to trouble 

But he never tried to make a meeting

Stayin' clear and clean

Though trouble never let up

And was slithering in the shadows

Of a broken window 

Schroeder's silhouette sitting alone

Trouble being all that he's known

Never considered himself below

Or an unlucky or needy

He just kept walking down the roads

Of this crazy world of misfortune
