The Long Walk

Down in the gutter man kept in chains
Deep in the bottle in a brave new age it’s a
Long way before you
Long way before you
Take leave of the city any outbound road
Sign at the limits reads Save Our Souls it’s a
Long way before you
A long way before you
Never come back here never dark my door
Take what you need from the bedroom floor it’s a
Long way before you
A long way before you
It’ll make you wish that you’d never been born
Tea for the tillerman penny for the cause it’s a
Long way before you
A long way before you
You say the hard times come when the good times go
A bad day starts with the dawn I’m told it’s a
Long way before you
Along way before you
I was raised in vain I was reared by wolves
You do what you can but I’m sure it’s gonna be a
Long way before you
A long way before you baby
Gotta keep on moving
Can you make it through the mess
I know you can never tell
Don’t wait any longer
Can’t wait anymore
Am I getting through yet
Now the work don’t mean that you’re gonna get paid
Make ends meet in a pauper’s grave it’s a
Long way before you
A long way before you
And a sleep don’t mean that you rest in peace
A day don’t start on your hands and knees it’s a
Long way before you
A long way before yo
No I've never been caged by metal by gold
Never woke up in a bed of roses a
Long way before you
A long way before you
And I won’t shed a tear when a mans set free
I won’t take a ticket to the land of plenty
A long way before you
Long way before you baby
Gotta keep on moving
Can you make it through the mess
I know you can never tell
Don’t wait any longer
Can’t wait anymore
Am I getting through yet
Making any sense
Do I need a new prescription
Are you trying to make amends
Imma down in the gutter man kept in chains
Deep in the bottle in a brave new age
Make you wish, you’d never been born
Tea for the Tillerman ever more
Now the work don’t mean that you’ll ever be paid
Down at the bottom a new wage slave
While I never been kept by metal or gold well I’ve
Always been alone
