Today I got to thinking, The world's in a strange way Feel's like I'm in a 7/11, When a robbery takes place Do I hide behind the counter, With my hands covering my face? Or do I dive for the gunman? Before he makes his break? Does a 45 go off, Do the bullets ricochet? This is not some random nightmare, See, for me, well, this is every day
I've been waiting for this train to come 'round, I've been waiting for the deal to go down, I've been looking for the things not found, So far, so far away I'm just doing my best today
Cigarettes and alcohol, And a few minutes to pray But it don't do what it used to So we'll have hell to pay A penny for your thoughts? A penny for my clinches? I try to get some distance, I try to escape But this nightmare's so persistent In a Shakespeare kind of way Be not afraid Well fuck that, Be very afraid
I've been waiting for this train to come 'round, I've been waiting for the deal to go down, I've been looking for the things not found, So far, so far away I'm just doing my best today
Who sold you out? We did, we did Who let you down? We did, we did Who put on this crown? We did, we did We did, we did We did, we did We did, we did We did, we did We did, we did
