True To Life Lyrics - Still Feel Gone - Uncle Tupelo

I can only sing it loud 

Always try to sing it clear 

What the hell are we all doing here 

Making too much of nothing 

Or creating one unholy mess 

An unfair study in survival, I guess 

But it always comes down to 

What to do when it's all around you 

And this tight wire act leaving us here for 

Dead to news of the world and liquor piles up ahead 

Dodging those with words of power forever on their breath 

When the quality of life gets tripped up and strangled like death 

It seems it's getting harder out there 

Especially without time enough to see 

True to life is another hangover 

True to life is more and more politics 

True to life is always having to look over your shoulder 

True to life is assembly-line sickness 

But it always comes down to 

What to do when it's all around you 

And this tight wire act leaving us here for 

Dead to news of the world and liquor piles up ahead 

Dodging those with words of power forever on their breath 

When the quality of life gets tripped up and strangled like death 

It seems it's getting harder out there 

Especially without time enough to see
