I'm feeling so low tonight. I feel like there's no respite. From the boredom in my mind. I think that I'll never see. The things that I need to be. Encompassed by loneliness and time.
I've seen it before and it will happen again. Resources tapped, production comes to an end. And if the suits paid the price wouldn't that be nice. But I know who's gonna get fucked in the end.
From this distance clarity is a laughable ideal. Words shouted aloud, no audible appeal. The machines keep rolling, the show must go on. The kings strategically sacrifice their pawns.
I don't come around during waking hours. To see a dog like you. You'd do everything in your power. To always stay brand new. You ain't worth my worries.
Spent a buck for every dime I earned. It's the story of my life. Down on my luck and now it's time I learned. Everything has it's price. But broken hearts and empty pockets.
Pound for pound we carry out threats better than anyone around. Mean what we say even when we lie. The heavyweights of the insolent class. No counterweight to our whip and our cash.
Oceanside. Ends the ride. Then you fall. . The skies fly by. You close your eyes. Crystal ball. . You beg for time. She's china white. There's no cure.
I gonna be a soldier in the culture wars. They battle in the Capitol, they battle in the streets. It time to battle back with our minds and with our feet.
Wouldn't sell out. Just kept on living. Stayed in the fold. There was no money. Truth be told, he wasn't ready. When she said she had to go. . The will was read out loud.
Johnny was a man of his word he said. "I've never been locked down before. Now I'm sitting in this fucking box. And I know there's gotta be more. I don't really give a fuck about it.
Broken glass. The plan has failed. The silence knows. A man of faith. Everything that he knows, what a layman will do for diamonds. Fell on his knees gave in to sad overload.
Broke every bone in your body. For all I know. Gone halfway to heaven before the devil's seen you go. The years are changing. From far away. And I'll wake up in Nebraska on New Year's Day.
Cast aside and asunder. But before they put me under. I'll make a deal with the bounty hunter. For the price upon my head. Walked home to angry faces.
I'm not theirs in product or in name. But I've got no true discretion I can speak of. You can make your own distinctions but it's all the fucking same.
Fire up the propaganda mills. We're going in for the kill. Just as recklessly as before. I've seen you as you've filled the streets. With slogans and careless poetry.
My self effacing charity and gluttonous prosperity. Don't move mountains of misery or stone. My never-ending loyalty to hypocritical royalty. Has cut my sense of belonging to the bone.
[Originally by The Replacements]. . God, what a mess, on the ladder of success. Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung. Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled.
Early in the morning to an afternoon of toil and despair. You're always shooting yourself in the foot. From the food you eat, right down to the clothes you wear.
Well you came up short when you staked your claim to fame. When you walked downtown and you anted up to their game. They said to set your throwaway feelings.
When it falls apart in the avalanche. The heroes fate is played out before the crowd. They want blood and they want your heart and soul. But the hardest fight is the one you fight alone..
