Something Down

Nothing but lies behind me
 God knows what lies ahead
 The truth be told I've been bought and sold
 I don't quite remember what I said
 I don't fit in with your chosen few
 'Cause I won't choose black or white
 Being stared at ain't nothing new
 You ain't got the lock on what's right
 And I can't taste the rain that's pouring down
 And I can't feel the pain I'm wrapped around
 And I can't stand the strain of hating you
 Or berating your fear
 Let's try to break something down
 Let the truth come on back around
 Gonna try once before I go
 'Cause there might be something left inside
 God knows I've tried
 Making plans for my great escape
 From this place of my own
 I can't stand who I've been of late
 Lookin' for a sign I ain't shown
 And I don't wanna hear how your story goes
 And I don't care if everybody knows
 Take your hands of the wheel I'm driving now
 Straight on down to the real
 Let's try to break something down
 The truth has come back around
 Gonna try once before I go
 I'm so tired of all the people changing places
 And I can't hide from the lies on their faces
 Oh yeah
 Let's try to break something down
 Let the truth come back around
 I'm gonna try, gonna try before I go
 Cuz there my be something left, something left inside
 Something left inside
 I'm gonna try once before I go
 Yeah yeah
