I've seen the better part of a worse day I'd crawl out of this hole if I could only change my ways I've spent some years on bended knees A thousand kids all share a similar disease I'll shut em off and go away I'll live to see another day With courage garnered from these waves I throw a record on the table and I feel the strength Coming back over me These songs, wreckage from the past keeps me going I'm down and out of luck and I am praying I can't hear a word people are saying I can't hear nothing but these songs I try to be brave but it's been so long I need a messenger to tell me that I'm strong These days the airwaves are filled with lies And all the charlatans wear the same fucking disguise
