Further North
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.
Well we all gonna see a great empire
cut down in its prime
See its fruit die on the vine
In prime time color time
And there are millions in this world that mercy will not touch,
but they don't mind that much
Cause that's the way life's always been
But you don't wanna hear 'bout that from me,
I know, I know my place
And God know I don't belong
Singing a worthless freedom song
It's all a waste of time
It's all a waste of time
The pretty girl who lives next door,
she don't know how to lie
When I look into her eyes,
I can see the day I'm gonna die
All that water flows through the cracks and holes in the silver reservoir
Where your never truly far,
from someone who's exactly like you
It's all a waste of time
It's all a waste of time
Rock 'n' Roll makes me feel guilty
I've got no defense
My sadness makes no sense
I'm gettin' rich and I'm makin' new friends
All I've found is it gets colder further north you go
It's pissin' rain and snow
It's the world I don't want to know
It's all a waste of time
It's all a waste of time
You take it from me
You leave it behind
Ah, you take it from me
You leave it behind
Ah, you take if from me
You leave it behind
