Got To Find A Way....

Just because I was hating,

Secretly seething and baiting.

No-one knows what the big deal is,

When I'm alone sick n naked.


So I got to find a way,

A better way, a healthy way.

Got to find a way a better way,

Some other day, another day.


When I was a lover,

There were always others.

Girls and barmaids everywhere,

For a life without self care.


I got to find a way,

A better way, a clever way.

I got to find a way.

A nicer way, a different day.


When I was a fighter,

I'd burn candle wax with lighters.

Dripping wax on fingers,

Licking blood off fingers.


I got to find a way,

A better way, a better way.

I got to find a way.

A nicer way, some other day.


When I was a loser,

I was a locked up bruiser.

Fighting cops in high streets,

Waking up in beds with new meets.


I got to find a way,

A better way, a better way.

I got to find a way.

A finer way, but on another day.


When I was forced on the sick,

Life was boring as shit.

Hated way people got funny,

When I asked for money.


We got to find a way,

A better way, for a better day.

We need to find a way.

All of us need, a better day.


Freedom is like a flower,

Blooming to speak truth to power.

Never let them cage you for speaking,

This life aint meant for weaklings.


We got to find a day,

When we say, what we want to say.

Got to find a way to fight to say,

No Twitter cancel sway.


We got to find a way,

A freedom day, no backing away,

We got to find a way, don't let them say,

What we are not allowed to say.  


So we got to find a way,

A better way, a better way,

Got to find a way, a clever way,

No fighting today.


Got to find a way, a better way, now today.

Got to find a way, a better way, now today.

Got to find a way, a better way, now today.

Got to find a way, a better way, now today.


(repeats until almost a scream)

  2. Well not really, maybe a bit like one of Nirvana's songs, the verses are almost spoken "When, I, was, a, duh, duh" etc then the choruses are faster n get faster n faster until at the end he is screaming. That is how I imagined it in my head anyway.
