Bloodline

Lyrics

Rolling around a lifetime on a name that spells my past
 Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh
 And if fools could only prosper, I'm afraid what they might say
 From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make
 Because here it comes
 Watch them all jump right in
 Tell me, how could you refuse to float with the rest of them?
 You were born into it, there's no shame if you drift
 Down the bloodline
 Feeling temperamental underneath a broke sun
 A certificate of excellence, but no proof on your pay stub
 And if money's not a problem, I suggest you best believe
 There's ten dollars on the table and a million up his sleeve
 And here they come, watch 'em all pass us by
 Tell me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
 Two sheets to the wind all over again
 Down the bloodline
 Down the bloodline
 Yes, it feels scary to be ordinary
 In a world that don't know your name
 It would not be weird if I just disappeared
 Blowing my back out, trying to hope I wake
 Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart
 Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart
 Now there's no room for ill-complaining, I know it's all just what it is
 Cherry-pick my best believers and send 'em off with a kiss
 'Cause there they go
 Watch 'em all wave goodbye
 Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a wonderful life?
 Two sheets to the wind all over again
 Down the bloodline
 Down the bloodline
 Down the bloodline
