Passed a dead bald eagle on the side of the highway Are you gonna do it right? No, I’m doing it my way A disgruntled youth who made his own rules Learned more on the streets than I did in the schools A bottle of hooch that I brewed in the closet A pair of brass knuckles in my back left pocket Big Friday night, what’s it gonna be? I got a thing for trouble and trouble loves me Trouble loves me. Passed a dead bald eagle on the side of the highway Are you gonna do it right? No, I’m doing it my way A disgruntled youth who made his own rules Learned more on the streets than I did in the schools Not a whole lot has changed since I’ve gotten older Stomping ‘round town with this big chip on my shoulder Eyes closed tight, but it’s easy to see… Tryin’ to do the right thing but trouble loves me

Panic Another social situation Another nail in the coffin Another long night of waiting Who what when where Terror Now it’s coming around the corner Now for sure you are a goner Now is better than never Get in let’s go Bouncing back-and-forth and You bend and then you break and They ask you what you’ll fight for It’s less than nothing Convictions non existent Changing for acceptance They ask you what you believe Tell them less than nothing Less than nothing Less than nothing Chaos Everytime it’s always all wrong Every line it’s all the same song Every day a little too long Pray for reprieve Silence All you want is just to end it All of your strength, you can’t break it All of the pain, you just endure it A razor’s edge Bouncing back-and-forth and You bend and then you break and They ask you what you’ll fight for It’s less than nothing Convictions non existent Changing for acceptance They ask you what you believe Tell them less than nothing Less than nothing Less than nothing

Count Time 04:09
Wolves and sheep, crabs in a bucket, the king of the jungle, the hunter and the hunted. All the animals are in one place, which one are you when you’re standing face-to-face? A concrete wasteland, a dead end track, eyes in front and behind but don’t look back. A thousand animals in one space, Open the cages empty out this place. Stand up don't get knocked down. Keep your feet on the ground. Stand up don't get knocked down. A tourist versus the town. Hustlers and con-men all standing in line, counting down the time till the next count time. The weeks are short, but the days are long. Stay physically tough and mentally strong. Pay your debts and learn your lessons, head up high and count your blessings. The months are short, but the days are long. Waste years of your life, sing ‘bout it in a song. Stand up don’t get knocked down Keep your feet on the ground Stand up don’t get knocked down A tourist versus the town Don’t save a space for me, cause I ain’t coming back.
