Heart of Darkness
I'm no politician,
I got no religion,
shame on these conditions?
I got my suspicion.
They beat back my peace of mind,
break it take it all the time.
I'm tired of city life,
I'm tired of playing nice,
got the shakes and 80 proof,
cut myself and I cut loose,
the good guys always lose.
They cut my wings
tell me I won't fly.
Keep me in a cage
until the day I die
I'm tired of blaming games,
I'm tired of taking blame,
to hell with you and to hell with them,
you can suck out your own venom.
I'm running out of dope,
I'm re-upping on some dope,
broken strings and a dollar bill,
I'm messed up and emotions spill,
voices are saying kill.
They cut my wings
tell me I won't fly.
Keep me in a cage
until the day I die
Look around at all the carnage,
in me heart of darkness,
die free or live lawless.
