RIVETHEAD LYRICS

"The Hard Side Of Easy Street"

We’re all stuck in moderation
We’re rotting at the foundation
I’ll take my new position on the other side of all your worthless ways
Ways to spend my time

Just let me drown in alienation
It's not a rally call or statement
It's all been said, I just want some rest
From platform speeches and crooked preachers talking in circles

Saying nothing that could ease this feeling
That I might be right
About how we all have trouble sleeping through the night
While the city blocks burn and buildings fall

Paid for this gun with union wages
I'm out of place in all the places
Where those motherfuckers live and work and die
I take comfort in the thought

I won't rub elbows with the kind that
Shot Lawrence Miles in the back
Just a kid, it just goes to show
It’s not easy growing up around here

Saying nothing that could ease this feeling
That I might be right
About how we all have trouble sleeping through the night
While the city blocks burn and buildings fall

You don’t hear a lot about the American dream on the hard side of easy street
If you want to see the truth walk with me down the hard side of easy street
You don't hear much about the American dream on the hard side of easy street
If you want to hear the truth walk with me down the hard side of easy street

Thanks to Tom for these lyrics
