[Verse 1] Well, hard times never quite seem to end Runnin' down this road again Singin' "Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in" As I'm headin' outta town
Well, I'm out here clingin' to the breeze again Waitin' on a second wind But the wheels are shakin' and the money's thin To go another round
[Chorus] Well, fall on your knees, kick up your heels Sparks flyin' from a spinnin' wheel Either hold to the light or to darkness yield When your old playground turns a battlefield Your old playground turns a battlefield
[Verse 3] Did you hear that new law of the land?: Every man 'gainst every man They say a piece of cold steel in every hand Will help it settle down
They'll get that trouble all in your mind Fear grows and a heart dies Start buildin' walls and drawin' lines Waitin' for the trumpet sound
[Chorus] Fall on your knees, kick up your heels Sparks flying from a spinning wheel Either hold to the light, or to darkness yield When your old playground turns a battlefield Your old playground turns a battlefield
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3] Ain't no matter where, in every case You find the working-est folks in the torn-down-est place Where the layers of a lie are peeled Well, you take a drink, I'll take one too Wouldn't it be fine to think it true that We ain't just players for the well-heeled And that their playground ain't your battlefield That your own hometown ain't a battlefield
[Verse 4] Ain't it all just a game A few lost and a few gained Dollars/lives, well, it's all the same When you're so far off the ground While back here down on the earth Hands ache and feet hurt One takes the pain and one takes the perks And dares to double-down
[Chorus] Well, fall on your knees, kick up your heels Sparks flying from a spinning wheel Either hold to the light, or to darkness yield When your old playground is a battlefield Your old playground is a battlefieldTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
