Leader Of Men
Tell your friends not to think aloud until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink since it's so hard to swallow?
So turn the television off and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge you can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe because I think I've forgotten
One day, out to a cliff that overlooks the water
I jumped into save a girl it was somebody's daughter
And now the ring that's on my hand it was given to me by her
And to this day we all sit around and dream of ways to get higher to get much higher
Tell your friends not to think aloud until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink since it's so hard to swallow?
Never Again
He's drunk again, it's time to fight she must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring it's time to run when you see him clenching his hands
She's just a woman never again
I hear her scream, from down the hall amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me go back to bed I'm terrified that she'll wind up dead in his hands
She's just a woman never again
Been there before, but not like this seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad she's just a woman never again
Just tell the nurse you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room with those hands
Looking just as sweet as he can never again
Seen it before, but not like this been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad she's just a woman never again
Father's a name you haven't earned yet you're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard don't hit a lady kicking your ass would be a pleasure
He's drunk again, it's time to fight same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fucking tough is this man
Pulls the trigger as fast as she can never again
Seen it before, but not like this been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad she's just a woman never again
Side Of A Bullet
Uncle Sam taught him to shoot, maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet he hit the stage so full of rage and let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say God, don't let him pull it Please God, don't let him pull it
How could you put us through it his brother watched you do it
How could you take his life away what made you think you had the right?
How could you be so full of hate to take away somebody's life
And when I heard you let him die and made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own, I cried alone and scratched your name on the side of a bullet
And in the wake of his mistake so many lives are broken gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say God why'd you let him do it?
How could you let him do it how could you put us through it his brother watched him do it
How could you take his life away what made you think you had the right?
How could you be so full of hate to take away somebody's life
And when I heard you let him die and made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone and on my own, I scratched your name on the side of a bullet
Too Bad
Fathers hands were lined with dirt from long days in the field
And Mothers hands are serving meals in a café on Main Street
With mouths to feed just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is how it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, it's stupid too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind let's walk, let's talk
You left without saying goodbye although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time to make sure we're alive
But you weren't there right when I needed you the most
And now I dream about it and how it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, it's stupid too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind let's walk, let's talk
Father's hands are lined with guilt for tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end just look at where we are
We made it out we still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it and how it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, it's stupid too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind let's walk, let's talk
Long time, let's walk, let's talk
Someday
How the hell'd we wind up like this why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed and try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this but don't think it's too late
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when you're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway that we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say so we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits instead of a Hollywood horror
How the hell'd we wind up like this why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed and try to turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Figured You Out
I like your pants around your feet and I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please while you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I love the places that we go and I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it
I like the freckles on your chest and I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed while you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress
And I love the way you pass the check and I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self-respect while you passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
I like your pants around your feet and I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please while you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I hate the places that we go and I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose
