Diamond in the Rough Lyrics
Well I've been up yeah
And I've been down
Been kicked around yeah
This god-forsaken town.
So many faults, so little time.
I've gotta find a piece of mind. Peace of mind.
I was looking for somethin'
Anything at? all.
Something to believe in. Written on the bathroom wall.
I've made mistakes yeah, I've had a few.
What's a boy supposed to do
I've been chasing like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged.
All you need's a little love.
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above.
You'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough.
There was a? time when, I could not say
I got a reason to live another day.
I'll pick my fights. Yeah I'll pick some more.
Won't you help me up from the floor
And I've been down
Been kicked around yeah
This god-forsaken town.
So many faults, so little time.
I've gotta find a piece of mind. Peace of mind.
Anything at? all.
Something to believe in. Written on the bathroom wall.
I've made mistakes yeah, I've had a few.
What's a boy supposed to do
You're dirty and you're damaged.
All you need's a little love.
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above.
You'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough.
I got a reason to live another day.
I'll pick my fights. Yeah I'll pick some more.
Won't you help me up from the floor

This song is about a total fuckup. Mike ness admitted he made a few mistakes along time ago and how he is past all the bad thoughts and looking into the future not the past
Only one comment?! Well I guess the meaning is no mystery. Beautiful song. Social D gets better and better as the years turn to decades. Can't wait for another album. Just heard that a new album should be released in 2016 so it should be out by 2020
