Money And Class
I come from a land where the straight blades crowned And respect is as fleeting as rain coming down And it feels like a crowd's closing in when there's no one around And the gutters are washed not a sign of the glass That I smashed as I lost everything from my grasp I tried to hold what I had and defended too fast Every moment I lost, over money and class On the talk and the pride I would splutter and choke From my father to me it was forced down my throat And the dreams that I had filled the sky disappearing like smoke But I held what I had and defended too fast Every moment I lost like it might be my last I could run I could hide but never as fast As the shame that I felt over money and class I could fight I could drink I could shout I could sing I could light up a party but I didn't fit in Every door that was closed was a door that I had to kick in And the walls fall upon me and my heart fills with fear And all the time that I wasted all becomes clear I was lost in the fight of my life Over money and class Letras de canciones My body is aching and my lungs start to burn Makes me sick to my stomach from waiting my turn And I can't feed the kids, pay the bills with the money I earn My dreams disappear in the blood and the glass And it all starts to rush and my heart's beating fast And I swear on the Bible with my fists clenched at last I get trampled and crushed by the fear of the money and class I could fight, I could drink, I could shout, I could sing I could light up a party but I didn't fit in And every door that was closed was a door that I had to kick in As the walls fall upon me my heart filled with fear And all the time that I wasted all becomes clear I was lost in the fight of my life Over money and class Over money and class Oh, I was lost in the fight of my life Over money and class I've been lost in the fight of my life Over money and class From Letras Mania
