lyrics

Oh, We ain't got no friends in the you-know-who,
Ain't got the jazz hands of an alley dice game,
Don‟t see fists pumping in the air much more,
But you got to get lost before you can get saved:

But we all bite on reason like its owed to us,
And there ain't nobody saying that it's owed to us,
Cause i ain't ownin' nothing in these shoes,
Like my daddy and my granddad with that 22.

Yeah they shot them gophers like they was food for them,
And grandpa drank his check like it grew on him,
And i think he even said it was owed to him,
Just like his cancered craw might been owed to him.

But we all bite on reason like its owed to us,
And there ain't nobody saying that it's owed to us,
Cause i ain't ownin' nothing in these shoes,
Like my daddy and my granddad with that 22.

Well, I'm gonna tighten my belt.
You hold on to yours,
And we both laugh harsh
Like the sunlight is ours,
Prayin' that the last time
We see them 'others' smile
Is from a gold road paved
With our own righteous miles --

Those of our days!
We be the blood of the earth,
Holding on to the wings of a second birth,
We hope -- we pray we get to see
What's owed to them!
What's owed to them?
