muddy summers and the dirty field whores - reasons lyrics
[verse 1]
i know why you look down your nose at me
i don’t have a proper job or even a degree
or anything you’d label as security
i know why you look down on me
i don’t think it’s wiser to look ahead
focus on what’s in front of you instead
tripping on misfortune leaves too many dead
don’t you think it’s time to look ahead?
tell me your reasons, tell me your fears
you’ve dodged the cracks in the pavement for all these years
step over the dying man who’s had too many beers
i don’t get your reasons, i don’t get your fears
saw you walk by as he turned blue
lying in the gutter in his own spew
how different you’d have acted if he’d been wearing a suit
you’d have done what i felt it humane to do
[verse 2]
i know why you look down your nose at him
jobless, homeless, and a penchant for gin
and no doubt he often dines out from a bin
i know why you look down your nose at him
but what of his reasons, what of his fears?
and the neglect of his story for all these years
why was it me and not you who saw past the veneer?
what about his reasons, what about his fears?
don’t you think it’s time you looked around?
we’re all treading paths on the same cracked ground
and all the footprints and the bolts marked ‘lost and found’
don’t you think it’s wiser to look around?
’cause don’t be thinking that i’m looking up
at what you perceive to be an overflowing cup
or striving to be where not much is good enough
not much is good enough when you’re not desperate to climb up
[outro]
i can tell you your reasons, tell you your fears
you’ve been fed false lines for all these years
i’m alright, yeah it burns in your ears
i know your reasons and i know your fears
