๐ Lyrics
Took the needle out of my arm about a
Year ago today,
And every day since then i've been taking
The needle out of my brain.
So when i'm staring down at my hands i can't explain
Just what it is that i'm thinking of,
Except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood.
And i've done you so much wrong
I can't believe you would still talk to me.
And i say so much bullshit
I can't believe that anyone around me can breathe.
I know that it's a little dramatic,
But the word for not changing is "death."
So i'm getting better, my friends,
But please don't hold your breath.
And i met a man in rehab the first time,
An organizer in prison.
He lived in chicago
When the cops shot fred hampton,
But he was just a kid back then.
And justice doesn't flow from police guns.
I'm reminded of that all the time.
As long as there is a law,
Peace will be a crime.
What the news calls economics,
I still call it violence.
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
I'm still an atheist.
But i try to have faith in the things that will happen;
I get saved from myself when i do.
So maybe "god" isn't the right word,
But i believe in you.
Year ago today,
And every day since then i've been taking
The needle out of my brain.
So when i'm staring down at my hands i can't explain
Just what it is that i'm thinking of,
Except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood.
And i've done you so much wrong
I can't believe you would still talk to me.
And i say so much bullshit
I can't believe that anyone around me can breathe.
I know that it's a little dramatic,
But the word for not changing is "death."
So i'm getting better, my friends,
But please don't hold your breath.
And i met a man in rehab the first time,
An organizer in prison.
He lived in chicago
When the cops shot fred hampton,
But he was just a kid back then.
And justice doesn't flow from police guns.
I'm reminded of that all the time.
As long as there is a law,
Peace will be a crime.
What the news calls economics,
I still call it violence.
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
I'm still an atheist.
But i try to have faith in the things that will happen;
I get saved from myself when i do.
So maybe "god" isn't the right word,
But i believe in you.
