only God knows why

my buddy christian posted this kid rock song on his blog in tribute of the current economic recess.  i’m not sure what demon got into him, he said memories from karaoke did, but i’m sure only God knows why.  so here we go…

 

    I’ve been sittin here

    Tryin to find myself

    I get behind myself

    I need to rewind myself

    Lookin for the payback

    Listen for the playback

    They say that every man bleeds just like me

    And I feel like number one

    Yet I’m last in line

    I watch my youngest son

    And it helps to pass the time

    I take too many pills it helps to ease the pain

    I made a couple of dollar bills, but still I feel the same

    Everybody knows my name

    They say it way out loud

    A lot of folks fuck with me

    It’s hard to hang out in crowds

    I guess that’s the price you pay

    To be some big shot like I am

    Out stretched hands and one night stands

    Still I can’t find love

 

    And when your walls come tumbling down

    I will always be around

 

    People don’t know about the things I say and do

    They don’t understand about the shit that I’ve been through

    It’s been so long since I’ve been home

    I’ve been gone, I’ve been gone for way too long

    Maybe I forgot all the things I miss

    Oh somehow I know there’s more to life than this

    I said it too many times

    And I still stand firm

    You get what you put in

    And people get what they deserve

    Still I ain’t seen mine

    No I ain’t seen mine

    I’ve been giving just ain’t been gettin

    I’ve been walking that there line

    So I think I’ll keep a walking

    With my head held high

    I’ll keep moving on and only God knows why

 

    Only God…Only God

    Only God knows why

    Only God…knows…why, why, why

    Only God knows why

    Take me to the river hey

    Take me to the river
