Loading...

[verse 1]
i was brought up to be
a president or some kind of king
with folks on their knees below me
and a may day parade in my name
and my face on the back of a coin in a paper cup
this life ain’t enough

[verse 2]
but here i now stand
with half of a joint in my hand
and visions of a storybook land
where the music’s so low i can’t make out the words
i’ll pretend that i’ve heard someone call
from outside the wall

[pre+chorus]
i’ve been to vegas alright
i’ve lit up the desert behind my tail lights
and i’ve been around enough now to learn
it’s a strange time to be a strangеr

i’ve got a steam enginе mind
just fire me up and i’ll drill through the night
and i’ve been around enough now to see
it pays to be more like john henry
[chorus]
if you are my brother i’d put no other before you
you can pillage and plunder the villages through
but what can you fit in your tomb
besides roses and gloom?

[verse 3]
i’ve got a price on my head
you won’t be the first one to wish i was dead
i’ve just been around enough now to choose
the bits i ought better to lose

[verse 4]
i’ve got my ancestor’s blood
i could follow the footsteps they left in the mud
but i’ve been around enough now to know
you can wash your feet but never your soul

[chorus]
so if you are my brother i’d put no other before you
you can pillage and plunder the villages through
but what can you fit in your tomb
besides roses and gloom?
