(Intro)
|
There must be some kind of way out of here
|
Said the joker to the thief, yeah.
|
There’s too much confusion,
|
I can’t get no relief.
|
|
(Verse)
|
I see jokers on my left, thieves upon my right,
|
You find me in the middle if I picked a different life.
|
Before my name started tripling in size
|
But I’m still showing signs, all the tributed tonight.
|
In the pitch black, it’s too cold,
|
I’m all alone, take me back to the roads
|
I had to rode to get here and I’ll hitch back
|
Get a cab to my mother’s house, see my old man and grab a six pack.
|
Tell my brother I love him and give him something that will see him through the hard times.
|
What’s a brother for? When I’m sick of this life I see,
|
It has to be my family who lift me off the floor.
|
Make sense of all the madness in a world full of money, full of tears, full of war,
|
I was a proud man who worked from the earth up
|
Save your whine for the entrepreneurs.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
We’re all along the watchtower, princes kept the view,
|
While all the women came and left, barefoot servants too, yeah.
|
Outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl
|
Two riders were approaching and the wind begins to howl.
|
|
(Verse)
|
Cause your world is the same as mine,
|
Pour more blood in your cup,
|
Take a sip full of sin and let your taste buds savour the buzz.
|
The flavor of an ill-mannered nature
|
That lingers on as animals in all of us,
|
Trying to fight for the right to live a life
|
But some will never win though, that’s why they live a lie.
|
I don’t think I’ll ever win all of this is anything,
|
When I die I hope my brother’s at my side,
|
There’s no trap door or get out clause,
|
The world can be your oyster or a set of jail doors
|
You’ve seen mine, I think it’s time I see yours,
|
I bet you that we’ve been scarred by the same swords
|
Some are lost, some are a life,
|
Apart from the fact I live my life in the light
|
And now I’m trapped in it.
|
The way I feel within a few years time,
|
I might have a couple kids and just forget I ever wrote this.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
We’re all along the watchtower, princes kept the view,
|
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants too, yeah.
|
Outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl
|
Two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl.
|
|
(Bridge)
|
Take away the treasure of a man
|
Convinced that he holds heaven in his hands.
|
Even though I ain’t religious , I’m a little superstitious
|
Maybe there is a promised land,
|
But will I make it or not is a different matter,
|
I’ve been a joker, I’ve been a thief, I’ve been a rapper,
|
I’ve been the only enemy that I can never beat,
|
Give me a piece of mind upon a platinum platter.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
We’re all along the watchtower, princes kept the view,
|
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants too, yeah.
|
Outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl
|
Two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl.
