Leave 'em For Dead

(album: California Poppy - 2006)

'Cuz you never, you never realize
Until it's to late
Then it all disappears
Yeah it evaporates

Maybe it's in my head
I see blood shed
We leave them for dead
Maybe it's how we were bred
We've been misled
We leave them for dead

I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you

Maybe it's inherited
It continues to spread
We leave them for dead
Maybe we're mean spirited
Do something instead
Of leaving them for dead

I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you

Who do we blame when it it's time for change
When a life means less than a fiscal gain
On the stock exchange when we're living in a hell
It's time to take an honest look at ourselves
Without immediate personal gain
Nobody gives a fuck it's just another problem
With which they won't get stuck
I'm fed up god lift me and take me from this place
I can't stand to see another devastated face

If I trusted the world
To show me the way
Would the skies open up
So we could all fly away
In another place
Or in a distant time
When the stars collide
Somewhere in the afterlife

I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you
I'd be lying right here next to you
In the gutter
