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
