Born & Raised

I was born and raised in California
dressed in white for my dads employer
But I was dreamin of the south
where the war had been won
I was alone with you in the early morning
My last goodnight as I fell before him
But not a word came from my mouth
My eyes had been shut
We were told to pray for our young fathers
who were all at war
with poison arrows
fighting for the lord
to save us from ourselves
I'd sit a top my fathers shoulders
watch the fire
as the wind grew colder
I could feel that he was proud
as he whistled to himself
Dried up dirty coffin corners
hide for hours swapping stories
the battle lines were drawn
in the dust on an El camino
we were taught to look over shoulders
Tumbled streets
Just barely sober
ready to believe
in anybody's dream

Baby I wrote this song for you
so, Think of me every time it plays
just Take a moment out of your busy day
whatever they've said t you
It doesn't mean a thing?
They're all probably at home watchin the news
So, Don't let it wear you down
don't let em wear you down
There's a lot you can be thankful for
and a little more everyday
what do you have to lose?
open up your heart for them
bleed all over the page
it may be the only way to get someone to listen
Are you lookin' for a romance
or you looking for a stage
either way you gonna have to sign your name
But, Don't let it wear you down
Don't let em wear you down
There is a lot you can be thankful for
a little more everyday
What do you have to lose (on g chord)
Either way there's nothing you can do
Don't let'em wear you down
No
Don't let them wear you down
There is a lot you can be thankful for
a little more every day

It's been a long time But something tells me not to quit it I've been down this road so many times I know every twist and turn in it I have bee lucky my whole life I've got more than an man ever needed I am still so unsatisfied It's been a long time But I know someday were gonna get it I've been drawing outside the lines Even though we fit perfectly in them I'm too old to wonder why And I'm too young to look for the finish I am still so unsatisfied Solo So I've been lied to I've been cheated I've been kicked around I've been mistreated But I always come back to you

Rain is coming
Rain is coming down
all my friends and so called lovers
Are gonna buy me another round
I Believed in summer
But the sun it let me down
Now I'm trapped here under cover
Lost and all alone
Rain is coming
Rain is coming down
Awww these boots of off-white leather
Are sticking in the ground
You Pray for the sinners
And you glorify the saints
Now you wanna send me away like Im some leper,
where they will chain me like a slave
Lie to me
Tell me it's ok
Go ahead and Lie to me
oh oh oh
Rain is coming
Rain is coming down
awww your little heart goes pitter patter
Just like the boys i had in town
You cry, my savior
this lamb has lost her way
but tonight you become the killer
and I become your prey
Lie to me
Tell me it's Ok
Go ahead and lie to me
but it can't be erased
lie to me
but you know you're gonna crumble some day
bridge:
lie to me
tell me everything is OK
go ahead and lie to me
oh oh oh
And You know i have every right to be here
I'm just as white as they are brown
I can see you'd rather
Snicker when I'm down
but I'm not some Native Dancer
you can dress and send to town

I cant save you tonight....
Even if I could would it be right?
it is hard to look, to see
when you are down on your knees
in the fire
I don't blame you for crying
are you salt of the earth, or the lion
you don't even know my name
you've buried me in blame,
and desire
Oh my eyes
Are sailing to the sun
Are you burning ashes,
or are we all divine?
Where are we to meet tonight
igh ight...
you are cornered, you are broken
you are blind
ind ind...
is it only make believe...
or did you need to be redeemed
for your crimes?
Oh my eyes are sailing to the sun
but remember how you begged me
for your life
solo:
ch
am i melting?
am i Helping?
someone' s crying
i don't wanna be that guy
outro:
i dont like it
when your heart ticks
you just sit sick
like a stuck pig
you don't miss it
cause youve been tricked
and your mi
of its one wish....
now you decided
that its all fixed
so you just sit there sick
like a stuck pigkk
aw...,
just send em in two at a time

remember
member.....
remember when you were young and dumb
your mama loved you but it wasn't enough
you go back to your room every night
lock the bathroom and
turn out the light
remember
member.....
Now you're older and you're friends are all tramps
they lick your trousers and
they swallow your mints
you want your daddy but he's already gone
But the next trapper (editor) already
bugged your home.
remember
member
old men just wanna be left alone
you might think its strange to be on your own
your words ring like styrofoam
to me
remember when you are old and drunk
you eyes are glassy
and your beard over grown
Nobody tells that you look out of place
but without a story
you've got nothing to say
Your favorite records were always your only friends
you read the covers and you follow the bands
you want to play it but you cant find a way
cuz without a story
you've got nothing to say
remember...
member
Old men just wanna be left alone
aww... it maybe hard when you're on you own
your words are like styrfoam
to me

We wait around a week or somethin And still don't hear a thing My friend says, look here buddy, I think you are going insane Lalalalslalalar I bet my belt I bet my last two comics That we'd be rolling in it soon I sent myself a message as a reminder I swear I don’t know what it means I knew that someone down In taxes would clear up everything I'd tellem all my story And they would just have to believe La la lalala lalala We'll all go down to aransas And sit out by the sea I'll eat all their oranges and you could shop every day Lalalalalalala I sent myself a message as a reminder I swear I dont know what it means I bet my belt I bet my last two comics That we'd be rollin’ in it soon Look at all the patterns Turn on the radio Mess around in the medicine cabinet I'm caught in an undertow Now, no one ever comes to see me At night I listen to the screams I wait for love to come and save me And everyone laughs at me

One goes off on an airplane.
one goes off in a building.
one goes off on a train line.
one goes of in a bus.
chorus:
Isn't it comforting to know,
that we'll always be afraid.
Isn't it comforting to know,
that you'll never feel safe.
Isn't it comforting to know
I don't know what you look like.
I don't know where you're from
I don't know --- what is it like?
when the only heart is a beating drum
the distant sounds of battlegrounds
Grow closer every day
Listen to the babies
Fa-ding away
chorus:
Isn't it comforting to know,
that you'll always feel the same.
Isn't it comforting to know,
that you'll never feel safe.
