Own Name Own Game

A time came in days of old
 A thought to handle silver & gold
 So watch one stain, see one crumble
 Why hold close the cold?
 Time came in an overtime game
 Win lose or draw, it's all the same
 So pack it up & hop a train
 Why fight in the rain?
 Why drink from an empty glass?
 Why eat, the cupboard is bare
 Nothing for my soul in there
 How do you see color?
 Line you drew you knew
 So nothing for my soul from you
 Nothing
 Nothing
 Own name, own game
 It's my life
 Your ropes, your knots
 I untie
 Own name, own game
 It's my life
 My hopes, my dreams
 You can't buy
 Time came upon the land
 Ivory towers, you know they turned to sand
 And all was dust, crumbled hand
 No firm ground on which to stand
 So don't sell me your bills of goods
 No do's & don'ts, no shouldn'ts & shoulds
 No president, no CEO
 No fuckin' god of rock & roll
 Why drink from an empty glass?
 Why eat, the cupboard is bare
 Nothing for my soul in there
 How do you see color
 Line you drew you knew
 So nothing for my soul from you
 Nothing
 Nothing
 Own name, own game
 It's my life
 Your ropes, your knots
 I untie
 Own name, own game
 It's my life
 My hopes, my dreams
 You can't buy
