you can take my wife and my children, treat me like an illegal alien
strip me of my money and things, just let me out
tell me my career it is over, keep me looking over my shoulder
tell me i was good when i was young, just let me out
Open me up like a mainline Drain me white like a vampire
drill down deep till your satisfied, just let me out
A scarlett letter to tell me that i should take what is given me
but i don't eat with the enemy, let me out
People talk about statistics and the way we should live
they're diplomatic but they're tricky when the keep it all hid
its hard to trust them when they stare but they won't look in your eyes
I knocked around enough already and i steadied my feet
i've been a cad, i've been a liar, i've been down on my knees
but i've got something in my pocket makes me feel alright
You tell me that I'm unyielding, strip all emotion and feeling
say i was right when i was wrong, just left me out
I keep the place I've founded, i catch the echoes i've sounded
I cut the stalk from the ground and it let me out
just let me out
People talk about statistics and the way we should live
they're diplomatic but they're tricky when the keep it all hid
its hard to trust them when they stare but they won't look in your eyes
I knocked around enough already and i steadied my feet
i've been a cad, i've been a liar, i've been down on my knees
but i've got something in my pocket makes me feel alright
She took me under the table
she took me when she was able
she left me only her name
but she let me out
I keep a pill on my shoulder
i'll take it when i get older
i've got a friend and he knows,
and he let me out
just let me out
People talk about statistics and the way we should live
they're diplomatic but they're tricky when the keep it all hid
its hard to trust them when they stare but they won't look in your eyes
I knocked around enough already and i steadied my feet
i've been a cad, i've been a liar, i've been down on my knees
but i've got something in my pocket makes me feel alright
let me out
