You heard all the stories
|
You heard what they say
|
This stuff's so outdated
|
I can't believe I have to live this way
|
There's been so many seasons
|
Years of thunder fire and rain
|
So many years since I got free
|
And I'm still trying to clear my name
|
Still trying to clear my name
|
|
Like an old prize-fighter
|
everybody wants to punch
|
i even try to take a fall sometimes
|
just to get back to my lunch
|
I get it so many times
|
I swear I'll go insane
|
So many years now since I got framed
|
And I'm still trying to clear my name
|
|
Let me tell you it's getting closer
|
Closer by the day
|
I'm loosing my soul
|
When I'm hearing what they say
|
I try to be polite
|
I try to smile
|
And walk away
|
Sometimes it gets me so bad
|
I'm gonna loose it in a big way
|
|
So many years
|
Since I've gone straight
|
So many years of shame
|
And I'm still trying to clear my name
|
