larry estridge – let it roar like a flood lyrics
[verse 1]
well, the high rollin’ cats they tell me
that there are some ways you must bend
i just cannot lend my hands, my friends
to what i don’t believe in
the time is too brief to sell it so cheap
and it’s all i have got to spend
the life i will lead is the one that is free
and i won’t go back again
[chorus 1]
so let it roar like the flood
it just is in my blood
and i will make my stand right here
let it roar like the flood
it just is in my blood
and i will make my stand quite clear
[verse 2]
now, i ain’t no ruler or master
and i ain’t no jack of spades
and i ain’t no card for anyone
who would call me by a different name
and i cannot be your tomboy
and i can’t be no one’s god
and i cannot be your servant
and i will not be their thug
[chorus 2]
so let it roar like the flood
it just is in my blood
and i will make my stand quite clear
let them raise up the winds
until i am pinned
i will make my stand right here
[verse 3]
now, all my wooden friends
of all my days gone by
how come you do seem to turn like you do
how come you’re like the tide
and when the seas get a little rough
you go in heading for the shore
well, don’t mind me, this ain’t no third degree
just fight until you can’t do no more
[chorus 3]
but let it roar like the flood
it just is in my blood
and i will make my stand quite clear
there’s a time for to run
and there’s a time for to stay
and, yes, there’s a time for to vanquish fear
[verse 4]
well, on all sides the sea is closing
people say they’re getting ready for the
long haul
well, i might be wrong, it’s sure getting
pretty cold
but i know there’s some ways i won’t fall
i won’t fall in by the department
and i won’t fall for any party line
i don’t know what it means, but i’m telling
you it seems
that compromise is on the rise
[chorus 2]
ah, just let it roar like the flood
’cause it is in my blood
and i will make my stand quite clear
let them raise up the winds
until i am pinned
i will make my stand right here
[verse 5]
well, i see they have made me a junkie
or maybe they will coax me down
and i will sink myself into a cadillac
and i’ll just make my way uptown
and i’m going to a resort in the bahamas
and i’m making that woodstock scene
i’m just doing research
although sometimes it hurts
it’s all in the way you dream
[chorus 3]
so let it roar like the flood
it is in my blood
and i will make my stand quite clear
there’s a time for to run
and there’s a time for to stay
and, yes, there’s a time for to vanquish fear
[verse 6]
last year there was a people’s army
yeah, and this year there’s a people’s war
among all them downs they’ve been p-ssing around
and people hold out their hands for more
and all the cr-p on the tables
and all those words that fall
i have been meaning to split
’cause i just don’t seem to fit
so much seems off the wall
[chorus 2]
just let it roar like the flood
it is in my blood
and i will make my stand quite clear
let them raise up the winds
until i am pinned
i will make my stand right here
[verse 7]
i have been through several seasons
and all the reasons, they seem to change
i don’t trust no man or woman at hand
except the ones i can really feel
and those who would speak of madmen
and those who would put me down
and those who preach i just cannot reach
their words are so far from the ground
[chorus 3]
just let it roar like the flood
it is in my blood
and i will make my stand quite clear
there’s a time for to run
and there’s a time for to stay
and there’s a time for to vanquish fear, yeah
