Civilized Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are walls just to get to you
You can hit me if you don't mind black and blue
You set me up, not gonna fall
Run away
Went to sleep a long time ago
Several years since I hurt anybody
Don't wake me up, let me sleep
Won't do you no good
Just keep to myself
Yeah yeah ye-eh-eh
Nobody want a part of this
It's hard to be a civilized man
Times I wanna be just what I am
Woah catch yourself, wanna wind up in jail?
Better smile and watch football
Civilized man - I ain't no civilized man
Civilized man - wasn't born to be a civilized man
That's it, I ain't got no more to say
