The Price
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.
Cold dark lonesome, dead of night
Things gone so wrong, can't get right
In the darkness, hear the sound
Of a world that's upside down
Mercy ain't got no judgment
Justice got a rag tied around her eyes
Oughta be tears rollin down her face
At the blind tryin to lead the blind
Rich man rolls the dice
Poor man pays the price
Only hurts to think of home
Makes it hard to be alone
Every moment of a day
Trouble standing in my way
