|
Once a part of the ruling elite |
|
Now just second class |
|
All those things they promised me |
|
Now have come to pass |
|
I feel like I missed a train or watched it go right by |
|
Now I wish for one more chance one more shot at life |
|
Oh, I'm a deadman |
|
I've heard of liberation and deliverance |
|
But I've never felt no chains sitting up on the fence |
|
I used to be afraid of dying |
|
Now I realize dying was the easiest part |
|
Now I'm afraid of time |
|
Careful to watch for the man |
|
Who shows no dignity |
|
Come with a scheme and a plan |
|
Came to persecute me |
|
I lay my soul among lions |
|
Their tongues are sharper than swords |
|
To speak they breathe forth fire |
|
And got me pinned to the floor |
