ramshackle glory - first song, part 2 lyrics

Loading...

i took the needle out of my arm about
a year ago today
and every day since then i’ve been taking
the needle out of my brain
so when i’m staring down at my hands i can’t explain
just what it is that i’m thinking of
except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood

i’ve done you so much wrong i can’t believe
you would still talk to me
and i say so much bullsh-t i can’t believe
that anyone around me can breathe
i know that it’s a little dramatic
but the word for not changing is “death”
so i’m getting better, my friends, but please don’t hold your breath

i met a man in rehab the first time
an organizer in prison
he lived in chicago when the cops shot fred hampton
but he was just a kid back then
justice doesn’t flow from police guns
i’m reminded of that all the time
as long as there is a law, peace will be a crime

what the news calls economics
i still call it violence
if your god is a judge or a jailer
i’m still an atheist
but i try to have faith in the things that will happen;
i get saved from myself when i do
so maybe “god” isn’t the right word, but i believe in you
