Nail On The Head
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.
In the younger days with your godless ways and your gold crest limousine
You were making trends with your so called friends, with a power so obscene
Then your hollow heart, it was torn apart, it would throw a learning curve
If you turn your back, on good advice you get what you deserve
[chorus]
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
He's another guy just wants to try his best to make things good
He's an honest man with a helping hand from a rundown neighborhood
And hear the thud, you see the blood, it's good work come undone
Step aside fellow one them said, only the good die young
I hope you don't misunderstand me now
'Cause I don't wanna catch you down
Just look at all the things I've seen, and they keep coming round and round
[chorus]
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over
Now have to go down the lovers road on a path that ain't so smooth
Many ups and downs many tears and fouls and a sweetheart look for truth
Ever lie between what she believes gonna have to take the fall
No fear that she, will ever look back, 'cause you left gone cause all
I hope you don't misunderstand me now
'Cause I don't wanna catch you down
Just look at all the things I've seen, and they keep coming round and round
[chorus]
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over, over and over,
We hit the nail right on the head
Over and over,
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over,
We hit the nail right on the head, hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head, we hit the nail right on the head
Over and over, yeah.
