Gin Rum & Truth Gone Tired
Chorus:
My eyes gone tired and weary
Yeah dont believe ‘coz i am free
My eyes dont need sympathy, O hypocrisy
You all let me be
Verse 1:
Standin' on the edge and I'm lettin go
It's a long road to the highway
Lookin' on down to what feels like yesterday when
Daddy said "Don't take shit off fools
You gotta live your life the way we had.
‘Coz my son, there's just too many of them bad out there."
Pre-chorus:
So/'Coz you, you thought you realized
You even said "Never compromise"
Well, damn you and your sanctimonious pride from the sun
Repeat chorus
Guitar solo
Verse 2:
When I came to there were lots of people
Tryin' to help me up, tryin to make me stand
They had my back and gave me all their care
Don‘t you see that they took sides but they empathize
They still symbolize
You'll never see ‘coz you'll never understand
Repeat pre-chorus
Guitar solo
Bridge 1:
We are one
Union
Overcome
Stand
Bridge 2:
It's hard to take my hand when all this shit is crumblin' down
Scalded dogs got nothin' on you
Chorus 2:
My eyes gone tired and weary
But don't believe ‘Coz Im still me
My eyes don't need anythin', everythin'
You all let me be
Repeat chorus
