Roots Rock

lyrics

They say wise men keep silent when they really need to be
Deep doubts, deep hurts; small minds, little wisdom screamin'at me
So I push and I shove my revenge seems to always find
That my eye for an eye policy makes the whole world go blind

And I can't always change what I really know
All I can play is a clown act show
So I move to the left
Then I move to the right
I can't find the center so lost
Lost in the street tonight

They say If you're afraid of being lonely don't try to be right
Look for lovers and strangers give it up and baby you just might
Find a place in the sun and your name on the big marquee
Playin' for all the lost people who can't decide on who they should be

And I can't always change what I really know
All I can play is a clown act show
So I move to the left
Then I shake to the right
I can't find the center so lost
Lost in the street tonight

a poet a know-it a plumber there goes a handy man
a singer a player a writer in a one man band
a mehcanic in panic there goes a man without his pipe
I guess I never find my way uptown so call me mister guttersnipe

They say a man by himself is in bad company
So I'm looking for lovers and friends but no one really looking for me
So I sit all alone with my rants am I going insane
Sometimes I feel so lonely cause no one's ever really gonna know my name

And I can't always change what I really know
All I can play is a clown act show
So I move to the left
Then I run to the right
I can't find the center so lost
Lost in the street tonight
