"SECOND CLASS CITIZEN" -
Copyright 2004-DeChant
I woke up with a tear on my pillow
I woke up with my eyes swollen dry
I walked out to the colors of Novembe
They looked brown and void of life
Without knowing I'd been living in a bubble
Full of love and admission of my life
I sat watching as the carvers took their knives out
And changed the shape of life
*CHORUS: You can have my blood and you can have my money
You can all agree to believe I'll take your life
Now you have your second class citizen
And you can have my filthy life
I seldom feel despair I can count it on my fingers
When the path don't lead me to the light
Was in the birth of spring when I lost her to cancer
But loss is loss in love
I had hope when I threw the ashes
I believed that God had made a plan
I was thankful for the struggle and the laughter
I picked up my head ( TO CHORUS)*
When next you see me my feet will be above the floor
Rope around my neck and this letter on the bed
Do you know how you killed the Mockingbird
As it hangs its weary head
I had hope when I was much younger
I believed that God would make it right
Now I'm thankful for nothing more to suffer
As I'm marching toward the light
You can have my blood and you can have my money
You can all agree to believe I'll take your life
Now you have your second class citizen
And you can have my filthy life
you can have my filthy life
you can have my filthy lifeBack to CD's and Stuff
