LYRICS
- When the deal goes down. And it all goes south
- keep your eyes wide open and shut you're mouth
- And bide your time till the right one comes around
- You stir shit up, It's going to come down
- When it does whoa man, don't be around
- Pick your sorry ass up up and get out of Town
- Doing what you do; It's no good for you
- you'll beat yourself to death before you're through
- And you know it's going to come back down on you
- The enemy within has been where you been
- It knows you upside down and in-between
- It jerks you up and down like a puppet on a string
- Shit goes around: It does not End
- Just like the same old shit just new again
- It's all about which side of the fence you're on my friend
- It's all about which side of the fence you're on my friend
- if it looks like shit And it smells like shit
- and it tastes like shit, well then; don't step in it
- You'll be dragged right down to a big shit-pit
- keep your head down; Don't make a sound
- When the shit hits the fan; Just hit the ground
- There is a shit pie in the face, for every clown
- Shit goes around: It does not End
- Just like the same old shit just new again
- It's all about which side of the fence you're on my friend
- You can pray to Jesus, bhudda and Mohammad
- Pray to the saints, the trees and celestial comets
- pray to whatever is your holy most
- But when your days are done you're Want to be toast
- you can live in fear; you can live in hate
- if you can live with yourself; that's just great
- You can cheat yourself out of a real good time
- When that train rides done, it's the end of the line
- you're gonna be toast; that's all she wrote
- You're gonna be toast; so you better leave a note
- You're gonna be toast, toast, toast; you don't get a vote
- when your days are done you're Want to be toast
- some people find comfort in believing in a plan
- some people seek wisdom in the words of a man
- make the pursuit of truth a life-long work
- Just try not to be such a fucking jerk
- you can look for a saviour you can look for a friend
- you can look an answer up around the bend
- Prove your existence with a media post
- but when your connections lost, you're gonna be toast
- some people find comfort in believing in a plan
- some people seek wisdom in the words of a man
- make the pursuit of truth a life-long work
- Just try not to be such a fucking jerk
- you're gonna be toast; that's all she wrote
- You're gonna be toast; so you better leave a note
- You're gonna be toast, toast, toast; you don't get a vote
- Cause when your days are done, you're gonna be toast
- When Your race is run you're gonna be toast
- to do the garage and I aint done that in years
- I could sanitize every single inch of this house even all the old bathroom
- But I can't wash away the hurt that I caused you
- Now the friends I got left think I'm drinking to forget
- And they say that doesn't work; I'll say it just hasn't yet
- I'll keep drinking to oblivion till I get to the end of my rope
- It's a mighty fine time for me to smoke some dope
- All my little white lies have all turned black
- I made a big mistake and I can't get you back
- And the truth won't help me get back with you
- So I keep lying to myself too; I just keep lying to myself too
- I'll just keep playing the cards I've been dealt
- I used to have a heart now it's just a big welt
- Went to my doctor just to make sure
- I got the black lie blues and there aint no cure
- The black lie blues and there aint no cure
- Now I don't mind eating dinner all by myself
- And I like spending Saturday nights thinking of you and somebody else
- And I tell everbody I'm happy that you found somebody new
- I shoulda and I coulda but I didn't; It's what I am. I'm not apathetic; just don't give a damn
- Now I've done it again; we've taken this thing way too far. A lot of wrong turns have got us to where we are
- I always seen to make the same mistake twice over and over. I always seen to make the same mistake twice
- When some thing's worth doing, it's worth doing right the first time; What was I thinking? I must have been outa
- my mind. Now I've had one too many and I'm lying face-down in a snow bank. I'd like to blame someone
- but I only have myself to thank. I always seen to make the same mistake twice over and over, I always seen
- to make the same mistake twice. If there's a wrong way to go, I'll take it; it never fails; It's a two headed coin
- and I know it and still choose tails. Sometimes you're the hammer; I always seem to be the nail
- I always seen to make the same mistake twice over and over. I always seen to make the same mistake twice
- If I wasn't sure it would fall, I would look up to the sky, Tilt my head back and scream out one word; why
- If I could muster the tears, I would break down and cry. If I could muster the courage, I'd give it another try
- There's a page in your story. Just like midnight coffee; It don't keep you up; it just wont let you sleep
- Say what you like about a half empty half full cup; Say what you think. But maybe you should just shut up and keep
- it to yourself. Memories will haunt you and taunts you like a kid and nothing you can say or do can change a single
- thing you did. There's an albatross around your neck; your sailing days are done
- Go running for the lifeboat and find that there isn't one. Say what you like about a half empty half full cup
- Say what you think. But maybe you should just shut up and keep it to yourself
- No one needs to know you when you're down and out; I didn't know till a while ago what that was all about
- Get some brand-new alibis, more half-truths and little white lies
- When you finally going to realize you're just pulling that wool over your own eyes
- And take a page from your story. Just like late-night coffee. It don't wake you up; it just won't let you sleep…
- Won't let you sleep. So like water off a ducks back; take it with a grain of salt. Pack all your troubles in the
- old kit bag till it comes to a screeching halt. Then tear that page from your story; Give up late-night coffee
- Well I know what I've done and I know what I've seen
- I got half a box of matches and a can of gasoline
- Well I aint so big and I aint so tough
- but you'll never see it coming when I've had enough
- And I've had enough; I will take no more
- I'm done like dinner and I'm burning down the store
- Now you say you want to leave because this aint your dream
- Believe me now child I know just what you mean
- I can't stop you leaving I suppose but the house and the car;
- They aint going, because I tore it all down and set it all on fire
- And got a mild satisfaction when the flames got higher
- If you've been where I've been and seen what I've seen
- You'd know the reason why it aint so mean
- That I tore it all down and set it all on fire
- And got a mild satisfaction when the flames got higher
- When the flames got high
- I got some single malt whiskey in a paper sack
- Done crossed the bridge and I won't look back
- If you got the cards, you can call my bluff
- but you'll never see it coming when I've had enough
- And I've had enough; I will take no more
- Get yourself all set like a king; get yourself ready to rule
- best find yourself a good fool
- Or don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth
- don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth
- Get yourself all set like a queen with your own damn set of rules,
- But you're never going to rule the fool
- So Don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth.
- Don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth
- Keep you mouth shut; best just turn a blind eye
- Face to face with reality; you probably wont survive
- Or don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth
- Don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth
- Some of us are just waiting to live; Some of us are just waiting to die
- Only the fool; only the fool knows why
- So Don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth.
- Don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth
- You got God, the Devil and the Fool all telling you what to do;
- Who the hell you listening to
- Don't ask don't tell because I don't want to know the truth
- Don't ask don't tell because I don't want to know the truth
- So Don't ask don't tell if you don't want to know the truth.
- I left it in the fridge too long
- It's Irish; it's gone bad
- I wanna cash it in
- And get the kind I never had
- I'm Want to change my luck. X4
- This luck I got is futile
- It's hard and it is tough
- It's old, it's dumb, it's rotten luck
- And I need some fresher stuff
- I'm Want to change my luck. X4
- This luck I got is useless
- This luck aint worth a dime
- I once saw some good luck
- But none of it was mine
- I'm Want to change my luck. X4
- I try and try to work my luck
- I do it endlessly
- Every way my luck turns
- Is no damn good to me
- I'm Want to change my luck. X4
- Changing how I do things
- Change how things get done
- I got lots of habits and
- I'm changing every one
- I'm Want to change my luck. X4
- Trade you for some bad luck
- Step right up, I got a ton
- A rabbits' foot; a lucky charm
- I'll take either one
- Gonna take a step back; gonna have a good look;
- gonna see what needs to get done
- Study all the angles and possibilities;
- Because then I'm gonna have to choose one
- Gotta a big black dog coming hard thru the
- yard and he's got my scent
- He's the kind of bred that spreads the seeds of discontent
- He's pure bred bad and he's mad so you better step back
- He's pure bred bad and he's mad so you better step back …..
- Two three four
- Ask a lot of questions and don't be surprised
- If the answers don't leave you in doubt
- The pros and cons have all been debated
- Never mind the ins and the outs
- There's a big black dog coming hard thru the yard
- and he's on your scent
- He's the kind of bred that spreads the seeds of discontent
- He's pure bred bad and he's mad so you better step back
- He's pure bred bad and he's mad so you better step back ….
- 2-3-4
- It seems that everything that gives piece of mind
- is some kind of crime
- And the only thing you get for free when you're born is time
- It's a god damn riddle but I aint no 'monkey in the middle'; Step back
- It's a god damn riddle but I aint no 'monkey in the middle'; Step back
- ….2-3-4
- Hitting the road with a fistful of wishes
- and a game-plan for having some fun
- I want to wake up with nothing to do
- and go to bed with half of that done
- Tell that dog the news: I got a little plan for him
- He can scratch at my door all he wants, but I aint letting him in
- I got the blues right down to my shoes, but I aint giving in
- I got the blues right down to my shoes, but I aint giving in….
- Walk with me;
- Every step we take together gonna get a little closer
- Walk with me;
- Step by step you know we come to understanding so
- walk with me
- any place any where ya know I really don't care
- Just Walk with me under the trees
- where the Air's so pure and
- we're walking on the breeze
- When you Walk with me and you hold my hand
- I still can't believe you call me your man
- Walk with me;
- Every step we take together gonna get little closer
- Walk with me;
- Step by step you know you know we're gonna get there
- When you Walk with me:
- no need no need no need for talking
- when you walk with me silently
- there's a calm so load
- I can hear my heart pounding
- When you walk with me and we share our dreams
- Like we had the same one at the very same second
- When you walk with me,
- my feet are on the ground but my head is in the clouds
- I'll be walking, I be walking, I'll be walking, yes indeedy I'll be walking
- I'll be walking, I be walking, I'll be walking, 47 miles of barbwire
- I'll be walking, I be walking, I'll be walking, I'll be walking in Memphis
- I'll be walking, I be walking, I'll be walking, I'll be walking to New Orleans
- If you walk with me
- I figure about now we can all use to hear some good news,
- I wish I had some, but I do have a tune or two.
- I figure about now we see we're turning a page in history.
- I figure it's time to make our dreams a reality
- How about this time we turn that page on a better-new day
- How about this time we Walk the Walk; tell me what I say
- How about this time we put love first and work from there
- And keep your distance from all the hate and all the fear
- I figure about now we can all use a word or two of good cheer.
- Raise a glass or two to the end of hunger and fear
- I figure about now we really see the need for a little creativity
- If we're gonna make our dreams a reality
- How about this time we turn that page on a better-new day
- How about this time we Walk the Walk; tell me what I say
- How about this time we put love first and work from there
- And keep your distance from all the hate and all the fear
- How about this time we put love first and work from there
- And keep your distance from all the hate and all the fear
- How about this time we turn that page on a better-new day
- How about this time we Walk the Walk; tell me what I say
- I'm talking peace I'm talking truth I’m talking L-O-V-E
- I'm talking Justice and some R-E-S-P-E-C-T
- I'm talking a real kind of equality
