歌词
In the bitter honest light of day
(I really don't need to be here)
There ain't too much left to say
(I really don't need to be here)
It's all a racket anyway
Just tell them what they want to hear now
Tell them what they want to hear
The walls are painted and cinderblock
(Oh Lord, the road I'm on)
I make my bed and set my clock
(Oh Lord, the road I'm on)
A little harder now to talk
Tell them what they want to hear now
Tell them what they want to hear
And I'll be back out, yes I will
Spend my money and drink my fill
Long and empty hours to kill
Ain't no changing me now
Ain't no changing me
My books and clothes and soul unpacked
(Oh the road that led me here)
My roommate tells me about Iraq
(Oh the road that led me here)
They patched him up when he came back
I guess I've had it easy
I guess I've had it easy
I play along and force a smile
(Oh the road that led me here)
They saw me coming by a mile
(Oh the road that led me here)
From ruling class to rank and file
The burden is the same now
The burden is the same
I'll be back out, yes I will
Spend my money and drink my fill
Long and empty hours to kill
Ain't no changing me now
Ain't no changing me
At the risk of sounding cavalier
(Oh Lord, the road I'm on)
My head and heart and conscience clear
(Oh Lord, the road I'm on)
I pray deliverance from fear
The only thing I need now
The only thing I need
Well have you looked it in the eye
(Oh Lord, the road I'm on)
The path is stated not implied
(Oh Lord, the road I'm on)
The choice is but to do or die
Nothing in your way, now
Nothing in your way
I'll be leaving yes I will
The cyclone in my soul be still
My heart is full enough to spill
How did I get here, now?
How did I get here?
