My conscience finally got to me. Workin' sixty hours a week. Leavin' her alone, bored to death at home. So, one day, I asked off early. . I dropped that bottle of wine.
Well, I'm laid up on a creek-bank. With a cold one in my hand. It's eighty-eight in the shade. I got the bait in an old tin can. . An' ol' Blue's been a barkin'.
The hood's up, the oil is leakin'. The bolt's broken off an' my knuckles are bleedin'. But the sun is shinin' an' the birds are singin'. An' so am I. .
You know if I'd seen her comin'. I'd probably tried to hide. But I came around the corner. And she caught me by surprise. . There was no ice cold shoulder.
Oh, don't it hurt deep inside. To see someone do something' to her?. Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry?. Oh, and especially when someone is her.. .
I will not give up. I will not give in. You can take it all. away from me. I will start again. I will not give up. I will not give in. You can take everything I got but not what I believe in.
In a temporary lapse of sanity. You've been subdued by your own false sense of security. You're a prisoner of your own privilege. You fail to see the bars for what they are.
I got good at fucking up because I practice all the time. I got stupid and I got stuck I got left without a dime. I left early and I showed up late. Everybody's upset because I made them all wait.
The Statue of Liberty used to stand forsomething. but now She stands alone. She once welcomed the tired and hungry. She welcomed millions to the USA. but today, She has to turn the massesaway.
As I look out over this beautiful land. I follow my eyes up to the bright blue sky. I think to myself when all this goes. that'll be the day that I want to die.
Surprise surprise. I've had such a hard time. Was trying to keep my promises. The things I say, I just don't do. I need some rescue from myself. . A thousand times, a thousand lies.
Nothings sacred, the days are cheap. Truth is thin on the ground. Still our prophets are crucified. Nobody believes were stumbling. Its Friday but Sunday is coming.
I want to jump, I'm so scared. I want to swim, don't want to get wet. How do I get to You. What do I have to do?. . I want to pray, I need sleep. Don't want to sow, I just want to reap.
Before Your people worshiped You. You said that something had to die. And as they brought their sacrifice You heard their cries. . Before Your children could come home.
I can't relate to you. I don't know what you're thinking. To illustrate my view. Allow me just a drink in some hotel bar. Where the world's not next to me.
I'm just trying not to listen. I've been hanging around. All the things that you mentioned. Kinda sink in the ground. . There's a kind of emotion. That describes how I feel.
There's a slight I heard before it's time. And you can comfort me. In a way, I throw my weight upon a lie. Is it not enough to lie within?. . And if it stands to right.
