lyrics

I'm all by myself again
couldn't tell you where I've been
followin' the highwaymen
Just makin' my way my friend
Don't need to see you now
got you out of my mind somehow
Can't expect more anyhow
we've covered a lot of ground

Chorus:
And I hear it every day
but I always try to do what I think is right
Gotta be a better way
I can't help but think every night

His first word is violence
television his opiate
he's not quite sentient
more worried about opulence
Dollar store poets shout
with nothing to talk about
homogeneous cloud
brings nothing new around

Chorus

Hear the cry of the servant wife
a docile, empty life
she dies every night
reborn in domestic confinement
The wise man's predicament
a lot to say but no one to hear it
His call to battlements
falls on empty sentiments

Chorus
