The Snake And The Crown


Today I got to thinking,
The world's in a strange way
Feel's like I'm in a 7/11,
When a robbery takes place
Do I hide behind the counter,
With my hands covering my face?
Or do I dive for the gunman?
Before he makes his break?
Does a 45 go off,
Do the bullets ricochet?
This is not some random nightmare,
See, for me, well, this is every day

I've been waiting for this train to come 'round,
I've been waiting for the deal to go down,
I've been looking for the things not found,
So far, so far away
I'm just doing my best today

Cigarettes and alcohol,
And a few minutes to pray
But it don't do what it used to
So we'll have hell to pay
A penny for your thoughts?
A penny for my clinches?
I try to get some distance,
I try to escape
But this nightmare's so persistent
In a Shakespeare kind of way
Be not afraid
Well fuck that,
Be very afraid

I've been waiting for this train to come 'round,
I've been waiting for the deal to go down,
I've been looking for the things not found,
So far, so far away
I'm just doing my best today

Who sold you out?
We did, we did
Who let you down?
We did, we did
Who put on this crown?
We did, we did
We did, we did
We did, we did
We did, we did
We did, we did
We did, we did
