The Drifter |
| The last time that I saw you, you were walking out the door |
| Taking the stairs three at a time, you were laughing as you walked |
| But now you’re not so civilized, you steal your daily bread |
| But I have to hand it to you, you were always a step ahead |
| Whoa, what are they gonna say? |
| Whoa, they won’t let any of us anywhere near |
| Hustling and thieving, just to get ahead |
| You would calculate your next move with no thought for no-one else |
| It’s hard not to imagine, if you once had a friend |
| The two of you ain’t talkin', because one of you is dead |
| No, «he's a bad kid,» they screamed |
| Whoa, «he won’t make it out of this change» |
| Hey, was it I was waiting with you? |
| Yeah, was it I was waiting with you? |
| Tried your best to please them, but just seemed in the way |
| You were left to your own devices, no guidance or restraints |
| The ones who throws the stones forget complacency is stained |
| But the one who’s hit remembers, 'til the end of their days |
| No, «he's a bad kid,» they screamed |
| Whoa, «he won’t make it out of this change» |
| The assassins in white coats, will glue your eyelids closed again |
| And the assassins all should know, and they should hang their heads in shame |
| What’re you gonna do about it? |
| What’re-what're-what're-what're you gonna do about it? |
| Was it I was waiting with you? |
