Intro: verse 1 Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground And when nobody's watching, they can tear it all down Friend or foe? Cause I can be either one But if they come at me, then they better all run The wood's all soaking, so fire won't burn Now I'd keep talking, but you never learn The cut's too deep, and so the wound won't heal You won't keep nothing, you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real verse 2 Long-toothed time is marching on as I sing Just cut me down the middle and count my rings Can't keep nothing; best to leave it alone You die naked and they burn up your bones Chorus Instrumental (2x) verse 3 What's the point in wishing there was somewhere to go If when you get there, you can't let anyone know When my time comes, I won't be leaving this Earth And what I've done for people will determine my worth Chorus (2x)
