the riot before – the cheapest cigarettes كلمات اغاني
two tall cans and the cheapest cigarettes to relieve
an honest man and another honest day of working.
it’ll help him through the night;
it’ll help him get some sleep.
then he’s up again and he’s standing on the corner hoping
his dirty hands can once again earn him a living.
then it’s to the liquor store
another night spent on the street
then a thought occurs to me
with a knot inside my throat i balance on
a rope thinner than feet a thousand feet above
a canyon floor with one exception;
everyone can clearly see the safety net waiting
for my falling body.
look deep inside of muscles sore; there’s acid eating
but there’s still life in spite of everything retreating
because a day of work still beats
not having any days at all.
what good is pride? it never stopped a stomach aching
what good are rights when all you want is to be eating?
a little shelter from the rain
a little comfort in the cold
a stubborn thought it sickens me
and i never learned a better lesson
than what i can’t articulate about a smile and a sense of something better
in what should be desolate and desperate
disenfranchised and disappointing and so distraught
i’m a fake a fraud a phone every step i take
in a broken smile, he reminded me
my net is bigger than a falling body.
my hands are clean but my soul is dirty.
