Corrosion Of Conformity - Live Volume [live] (2002) by Corrosion Of Conformity (보컬) on maniadb.com

Busted flat and dusted boy your minds a terrible thing
Said the man with a dirty hand who claimed that he was king
Choking angels from inside trying to make them sing
Cause your short of breath and close to death
From sleeping on the wing

Dirty king, dirty king now your strapped in for the ride
It's so hard to be a fighter when your hands are always tied

Mr. Innocent blood says he kills but just for love
Too bad the good ones always have to take the blame
Hey sharp tongue liar making pay in a bed of fire
To bad your dreams are always made of losing games

Dirty king, dirty king now you're strapped in for the ride
It's so hard to be a fighter when your hands are always tied

But I want to but my hands were always tied up
Yes indeed


But I want to but my hands were always tied up
Dirty king
But I wish I had myself a dime for every time
I cursed your Goddamn name...Mister Clean

Sweatin on the line doin 40, wasting time
Ain't it funny how dat money rots your brain
Put your soul on trial cause you lost it all to a tiny vial
Look in the mirror when you tell me who's insane

Dirty king, dirty king now your strapped in for the ride
Its so hard to be a fighter when your hands are always tied
But I want to but my hands were always tied up
Yes in deed
But I want to but my hands were always tied up
Dirty king
And I wish I had myself a dime for every time
I cursed your Goddamn name...Mister Clean

If I was the king
Of all the rotten
Stealing filth
From those forgotten
Would you be my queen
Of a desperate land?
Do you give a damn?

What if I had to scold you?
Listen once, tried and true
What if I had to trade you
For another man?
Do you think I can?

I won't call on the angels, no
Beating on the line
As I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you

What if you were torn in two?
What if I wanted to be like you?
What if I were high, like an aeroplane?
Would you look at me the same?

I won't call on the angels, no
Beating on the line
As I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you

If we walked side by side
Would you stab my back
And kill my pride?
Would you fall ahead
Or would you move behind?
Tell me, words unkind?

Now if I was the king
Of all the rotten
Stealing filth
From those forgotten
Would you be my queen
Of this desperate land?
Do you think I give a damn?

I won't call on the angels, no
Beating on the line
As I turn to amputate
I'm bleeding on you

When I was young
Some wise fool told me
Live and learn
But nothing comes for free
So I did what I could
When I was able
To keep the truth
Away from our table

Young blood creepin'
What you need?
Wiseblood shake him down
To his knees guaranteed

Well I never walked
I just learned to fly
And your heaven or high
Was the way I stayed alive
I've seen them devils
Pound our bible
You saints and sinners
Are both my rival

Young blood creepin'
What you need?
Wiseblood shake him down
To his knees
Aim to please

-Solos-

Well there's blood on the street
But there's nothin to steal from me
Cause I walk alone
But at least I walk for free
I listen to few and I'm fueled by fire
Guess now I'm old and now much wiser

Young blood creepin'
What you need?
Wiseblood shake him down
To his knees guaranteed

Well I'm feeling left behind
Lord, what a waste of time
They're coming to get you
Run on

How can I respect your crime
When all you criminals whine?
They bought and sold you
Run on, run on

Well you can call me crazy
Or you can call me wrong
'Cause, see I was born a liar
Albatross - fly on, fly on

My home is kind
Man, it pays to be blind
Well, I promise to forget you
Run on, yeah

No swallowed pride
No conspiracy lined
Broken promise of virtue
Run on, Lord, run on

Well you can call me lazy
But I know where I belong
'Cause, 'cause I was born a liar
Albatross - fly on

With your trust in love
From your God above

Ooh I believe
The albatross is me

Well you can call me crazy
You can call me wrong
'Cause, 'cause I was born a liar
Albatross - fly on, fly on

I should have seen the signs
Now the memory's far behind
It was no big loss
Fly on albatross, yeah

Fly on
Fly on abatross, yeah
Fly on
Fly on

Grace, pride, tell me what's your name
crippled will with tomorrow's pill
cause I feel no pain and I can't remember who's to blame...

this is not my home, this is not my home
but the source was always known
My grain

I beg, you steal, do you show me your signs of sin
blistered and torn by the pure and reborn
when they're just like us and remember man, they cave in...

this is not my home, this is not my home
but the source was always known
My grain
this is not my home, this is not my home
but the source was always known
My grain

war stone, do you write your name in trust?
word to the wise my instincts rise
all your heroes are gone and the proud ones have turned to dust, seven dust
you can kill my pride but my heads still flying

my grain
my grain
my grain
my.......

Standin' on the ceiling, it's alright
Suspended by the dreams you seem to lose
You've been floatin' for a while, a while, can't hold on
Standin' on the ceiling, it's alright, it's alright

Somebody is tryin' to get the best of me
Congratulations song
So now your'te flying like you wanna be
Right where you belong

Starin' at the wall like it's window,don't know
Blinded by the dreams you seem to lose.
You've been starin' for a while, knock it down
Starin' at the wall, you don't know, don't know...

Somebody is tryin' to get the best of me
Congratulations song
So now you're flying like you wanna be
Right where you belong

Runnin' from the sun again, it's alright, alright
Runnin' from the dreams you seem to lose
You've been runnin' for a while, a while...
You can't slow down...

Runnin' from the sun again, it's all right, all right Somebody is
tryin' to get the best of me
Congratulations song
So now you're flying like you wanna be.....

The number in nations
The god in their hearts
The justice in swine
The devil in God

VOTE

This long hand that breaks our backs
Still casting shadows on all that we see
Unjustified...mercy killing is just a feeling
To keep our numbers from being free

(Chorus)
Prison for praise is not worth thinking
Sin is still in and our ballots are shrinking
So unleash the dogs - the only solution
Forgive and forget, fuck no
I'm talking about a revolution

The prophet man's got a needle in his hand
Draws his dreams from your soul - bleeding
minds into sand
The year of the fear has arrived decades too late
And our right to stand and fight is now
solely sealed in fate

(Repeat first chorus)

One last chance mission with a vision
'cos our lives are just cards i their stack
Our time is short but theirs is shorter
How much longer can they hold us back

(Chorus)
Prison for praise - the obvious answer
Once had power mad - living disaster
Don't fuck with me 'cos I'm on a freedom train
That bears no name - this time
I'm voting with a bullet

This view they once knew made our nooses too tight
This justice in swine
This devil in god

So God bless my soul - I've got total control
And the crosshairs lined up dead in my sight

I'm voting with a bullet

Amplified on fire, strapped to take you higher
Queens appear, strapped you made it clear

Is everybody with me, is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy, am I the only fool ?

Hell yeah maybe you a rock n roller
Hey, hey maybe I should of been colder
Ditch that wish and sell your soul

Is everybody with me is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy am I the only fool ?

That's what makes it so damn hard to find her
I was down beat crazy, lumps to make it hazy
Ride on fear, wings they disappear

Is everybody with me, is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy, am I the only fool ?

Hell yeah maybe you a rock n roller
Hey hey maybe I should of been colder
Ditch that wish and sell your soul

I was down town freaky, strapped you made it tricky
Heads go under, sho nuff gonna roll you over

Is everybody with me is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy am I the only fool ?

Hell yeah maybe you a rock n roller
Hey, hey maybe I should of been colder
Ditch that wish and sell your soul

Ditch that wish and sell your soul
Life that touch and make your body rock, ah
Make yo body rock, ah...Make yo body rock, ah...

Once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change
I can see it in your eyes, it's the one who's not like you, you despise
I'm no different than you, it's just that I do whatever I want to
that's what sets us apart, I was free from the start, now you're leaving

tell me whose heart is bleeding
so once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change

What comes around follows and the truth becomes harder to swallow
so bang bang they shoot you down, no one says a word as your body hits the ground
oh pick her up and put her down the crowd screams aloud she's not breathing
and the only hand that reaches is the one alone you've been cheating my friend

tell me whose heart is bleeding again
so once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change
once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change

I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.
The dogs of war never compromise,
No real time for rearranging.

"Help me Jesus, Help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind.
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind.
He said it happens every time...
Knock it down,
Knock it down,
That's how the story goes
In the Land of 1000 No's.
I'm all over you
In time my mind is changing.
Knock it down.

Black on black gives me a heart attack
And the silence makes it deadly.
Some choose to kill with simple will.
I've seen them fall fast and steady.

"Help me Jesus, Help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind.
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind.
He said it happens every time...
Knock it down,
Knock it down,
That's how the story goes
In the Land of 1000 No's.
I'm all over you
In time my mind is changing.

Twist of fate won't give me a break
And myself, I'm slow and tired.
I've got to rise with these bloodshot eyes
But I keep falling when I'm higher.

"Help me Jesus, Help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind.
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind.
He said it happens every time...
Knock it down,
Knock it down,
That's how the story goes
In the Land of 1000 No's.
We are bleeding sins but our sins
Are always fading...

Knock it Down,
Knock it Down.
