Sorry I couldn't be there, I was tied to a rocking chair I was beat down to a pulp, rocking back and forth somewhere If you knew, if you saw, you'd have said it was the final straw There my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore
But there's no, no, no, no, no Easy way to tell one so The things you know And run, run, run, run, run, run When they say they think they know exactly so
It's not right, it's not right How'm I the only one who sees a fight? What are we? Who are they? Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay? "Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers; We don't stand a chance So long as they're around, You're just another song and dance" It's not fair (it's not fair) It's not fair (it's not fair) Still I'm the only one who seems to care
It's funny being funny, Makes you feel like up and running When your past lingers like rain clouds casting shadows below I could live with so many burdens I'd take all your hope and yearning But there's no way I'll let'em take me for their petty little woes
Oh, I used to glow, glow, glow, glow, glow Once I had a love to show A love they'd know But they're slow, slow, slow, slow, slow So slow that they'd never know where I'd go!
It's not right, it's not right How'm I the only one who sees a fight? What are we? Who are they? Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay? "Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers; We don't stand a chance So long as they're around, You're just another song and dance" It's not fair (it's not fair) It's not fair (it's not fair) Still I'm the only one who seems to care
I know that it's always something I'm just working with what I've been given It's not my fault, I'm happy Don't call me crazy, I'm happy!
It's not right, it's not right How'm I the only one who sees a fight? What are we? Who are they? Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay? "Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers; We don't stand a chance So long as they're around, You're just another song and dance" It's not fair (it's not fair) It's not fair (it's not fair) Still I'm the only one who seems to care
