Lyrics
This old world can get u down grind u up and spit you out break you down and make you out and then some This old world can make you cry, prop you up then bleed you dry, drown your tears muffle your sighs, and hold your voice aLL for ransom This old world just rides along with not a care and not a song and not a word bout right or wrong whats been said and whats been done and then some And Im just waiting for the train, Pick me up and drop me right back down again I can be good I can be bad I cant be both. All religions seek the good they say , yet in their rites they lose there way, In devotion to some God they pray, forget what Jesus crossed to pay , for the sake of all the sinners that are kneeling.... Good and justice is what they hype but Yet wars continue quite there type cause god wants this or them to smite, we got the blood of the lamb on our hands that were stealing...... Wars continue is there no end, to the next new bomb the next new trend of how to take apart and rend a peoples innocence and bend the story to what were really feeling.... And IM just standing in the pouring rain Wash my soul and muddy me up again I can be strong I can be weak I cant be both. Bow down to your new God, the Corporation without soul or blood built with your sweat and mud like a pyramid tomb taking you to your eternal rest and ever lastin salvation Bow down to your new God Coprorate Will withouth soul or blood, ancient footprints in the desert trod and now brought to you by your friendly tv news station... And Im just bleeding all in Vain So pick me up and bring me back down again I can be big ican be small I cant be both The pontiff pontificates, the Mullahs they all seethe with hate the Dali Lama holds back temptation gates with the snicker of eternal laughter. Theres God the father and the son, holy Allah hes the one , there in that world in their club no women are allowed to watch to talk or to gather. From some ancient backward tribe the laws were written and transcribed down the ages and are subscribed to the people who crawl up Jacobs ladder. The crazy left and the nutty right are sharpening their bloddy knives for the lambs being led to the fight and the slaughter And I m jsut firing up the pain to Pick me up and bring me right back down again I can be one I can be 3 I cant be both Mahet MA Gandhi John F kennedy, martin Luther king you see were sacrificed when they reached too high and so had to be drawn and quartered to the bleeding FOlks like that cant be around, when the goals we got do abound to make the many one and sing its song, like a true believer in this poisonous weeding Place the Wicker man up high set the fire to the sky and leave the bones there out to dry when its only evil we've been feeding. And Im just deserving for all the blame to pick me up and bring me back down again I can be life I can be death Icant be both Blessed Mary Virgin Mother had a son and a daughter and she called him Jesus Christ Mary Virgin had a son , then a daughter another one and she called him Jesus Christ Blessed mary Virgin Mother, had a son then a daughter and she called him Jesus Christ And Im Just holding on to this holy chain to pick me up and bring me back down again I can be good ican be bad I cant be both

Man, you are doing your part and then some! Presenting us with wonderful tunes......an incredible voice for so many of us that lack the ability to express ourselves with such eloquence, reason, and passion. Yet another amazing performance, thank you!

Hit one out of the park on this one, mate. Sounds a bit like John Stuart's intro for Bruce at the Kennedy Center awards ceremony. "I believe this, that James Brown and Bob Dylan had a child...." Which would make you Bob Dylan's Nephew I guess.

Hi Roger, thanks for the station add :) This is a great song, brilliant lyrics - a lot of truth and conviction in those words and superbly crafted. You always manage to create something that stops everyone in their tracks. Excellent vocals and delivery/expression.
