The Man's Machine
(专辑: Kings & Queens - 2009)
Better the
devil you know Confess, I
guess I
was the
lesser of the
two evils Convalesce about the
stress the
test caused Had me up and on the
board Now I'm chairman of the
board I'm coming back for sequels Do you ever really think you've won? Now you're feeble Nothing on this far-gone son, all these people They're laughing at the
shit I've done I've sailed the
seven seas to catch a
breeze And took it back home in a
trunk Met a
matador who said it's my woman is more Terrifying than any red bull that he saw Set a
sail, set a
rail, met them kings and queens There's so many trust, just the
amphetamines Well, her dream would've been that the
boy's got clean That her father never got his heart Caught up in the
man's machine Well, it seems even if I
got away There's always a
part of me willing to stay Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Underground traveling overcast weather Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Maybe one day things'll get better Check, check, check, check One, two, three, kick I
met Gods and monsters, women from Wisconsin Swimming in linen with another that's not their partner Chicago be selfish drum, on my journey I
met Ernie So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk I'm a
lover, I'm a
brother, my son I'm a
traitor and I'm on the
run, watch 'em come As she said while she driving in her car Getting drunker than the
bar She's been smacking hard shoulders since before she's legal I'm a
dragnet right on through the
city of sin It's the
hard done bastards taking it in Well, I
see what I
say, save it on the
way They can't sit bawling but they're bawling away Well, she cries all her tears but with all of her fears Well, she run away, she had a
place Now all they ever see is the
fears Take it as she's seen it, get away Well, there's always a
part of us willing to stay Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Underground traveling overcast weather Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Maybe one day things'll get better So run, run Boyo, chase it to the
border, border Should have also told her I
was cannon fodder Would've if I
could've screamed to her, shout and holler Then I
could've saved the
girl from the
man's machine Run Boyo, chase it to the
border, border Should have also told her I
was cannon fodder Would've if I
could've screamed to her, shout and holler Then I
could've saved the
girl from the
man's machine Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Underground traveling overcast weather Stone, glass, concrete and gravel All we've got to keep us together Stone, glass, concrete and gravel Maybe one day things'll get better
