I Can't Complain Songtext

The shackles can't get no tighter
The chain ain't got no give
The ball don't get no smaller
Yeah, that's just the way it is

You can tell 'em all that I'm crazy
You can tell 'em I've never changed
You can tell 'em anything that you want 'em to hear
It's okay, I've heard the same
I've heard the same

Right there on your table
I see your plate is full
Sitting next to a glass half-empty
And a never-ending pool

Yeah, the reasons I keep leaving
Are the reasons I can't stay
Don't think I don't want to
And no, I've never walked away
You can tell 'em all that I'm crazy
You can tell 'em I've never changed
You can tell 'em anything that you want 'em to hear
It's okay, I've heard the same
And while you're out there seeking shelter
And you find yourself in chains
I've always had my own to bear
But you know I can't complain
I can't complain

I wish I could have said it all
Before you heard it rhyme
It's the same old song you've heard me sing
At least a million times

You can tell 'em all that I'm crazy
You can tell 'em I've never changed
You can tell 'em anything that you want 'em to hear
It's okay, I've heard the same
And while you're out there seeking shelter
And you find yourself in chains
I've always had my own to bear
But you know I can't complain
I can't complain

I can't complain
And no, I can't complain
