All these years they gave to us It might not be so bad if I knew I was strong enough All these years I lose my touch It might not be so bad if I knew I was waking up I think I took your poison babe It went right through me man Ain't no use for me I know you'll try once again Give it some time, I'm gonna be yours forever Give us a light, you wanna get down I know it Just roll the dice on me Give it some time, I'm gonna be yours forever All these years they seem so rough I watch these kids go by and I see where they're endin' up All these years I lose my touch It might not be so bad if we all pitched in enough I think I took your poison babe It went right through me man Ain't no use for me I know you'll try once again Give it some time, I'm gonna be yours forever Give us a light, you wanna get down I know it Just roll the dice on me Give it some time, I'm gonna be yours forever x2

I didn’t choose this life Kids outside at the county line Sippin what they had from they old man I never did no time Never been caught on the 99’ People call me friend and I believe them I didn’t see no crime Goin out livin ain’t somethin I mind Tried to lend a hand like I belonged there I took in all the thoughts I could vision And it came to me it’d barely changed at all One boy said to me we’re the only ones movin at all Yeah he said to me we’re the only ones movin at all Who said there’s more to life x5 I didn’t choose this life Kids outside tryna pick a fight It was just a laugh for the young boys Then I heard the cries Men took shots with a 45’ When I stepped outside it was old blood I never spoke no lies Story they told you know it’s not quite right Men slipped away off to the badlands I took in all the thoughts I could vision And I saw the boys who’d barely changed at all He said to me we’re the only ones movin at all Yeah he said to me we’re the only ones movin at all Who said there’s more to life x5 I didn’t choose this life Kids outside at the county line Sippin what they had from they old man

Contraband take me in I’m like a lonely boy, got the only toy in the store Every night feels like the end I got the bills to pay, got no time to stay anymore Can I see you again? Lord I’m gonna leave this happy home below Keep me warm I can’t stay here alone It’s like my only fear, I’m the only kid still here Can I see it again? Lord I’m gonna leave this happy home Lord I’m gonna leave this happy home Oooo oooo oooo Contraband time to set you down Believe when I rise from underground It’s like it’s only face, feel them taking it out their rage Home at last I’m hardly here my friend I’m like a lonely boy, like the only toy store Can I see it again? Lord I’m gonna leave this happy home Lord I’m gonna leave this happy home below Below, low-owww Below, low-owww Below, low-owww Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Guess who I saw taking that poor boy from his job Guess who I saw breaking that poor boy’s heart You’re the light I saw taking my good hand with the dawn Your time has come you’ve been away for too long I can’t quit you babe I will fall for so long I won’t stop you there you can talk all you want I can’t quit you babe you can have what you sought I won’t stop you there you’ve been gone Guess who I saw taking that poor boy from his ma Guess who I saw breaking that poor boy’s heart I can’t quit you babe I will fall for so long I won’t stop you there you can talk all you want I can’t quit you babe you can have what you sought I won’t stop you there you’ve been gone

Been so long trying to get with you You know I treat it all the time Been so long trying to make things true You let the darkness ease your mind Hold ya, want ya, come baby I need ya I’m like drunk for the very first time It’s been a hard days night Carry on with your life And I can’t trust you as the days go by And I can’t stay true like the summer’s gold No more I’ll say goodbye, sweet life Every time I think I’ve found a way I’m like the sweetest child o’ mine But when I hear the sounds fade out I know I’m coming back to life Hold ya, want ya, come baby I need ya I’m like drunk for the very first time It’s been a hard days night Carry on with your life And I can’t trust you as the days go by And I can’t stay true like the summer’s gold No more I’ll say goodbye, sweet life

Dark black summer Gets hot through the winter Lazy on the sitter Why don’t you ask for your dinner It’s cool out mother woah Don’t you wanna see It’s cool out mother woah Don’t you wanna be free It’s gonna be alright like yesterday Dark black summer Gets hard to choose a winner Lazy on the sitter Why don’t you ask for your dinner It’s cool out mother woah Don’t you wanna see It’s cool out mother woah Don’t you wanna be free It’s gonna be all mine like yesterday Don’t be let down Darkness came, sucked out the life of these rays No one to blame, I can’t seem to get enough days Lies became, a slave of a simple man’s trade Life will drain, we’ll soon realize our fate, yeaaaa
