Dead Man Lyrics
Once a part of the ruling elite
Now just second class
All those things they promised me
Now have come to pass
I feel like I missed a train
Or watched it go right by
Now I wish for one more chance
One more shot at life
Oh, I'm a deadman
I've heard of liberation and deliverance
But I've never felt no chains sitting up on the fence
I used to be afraid of dying
Now I realize
Dying was the easiest part
Now I'm afraid of time
Careful to watch for the man
Who shows no dignity
Come with a scheme and a plan
Came to persecute me
I lay my soul among lions
Their tongues are sharper than swords
To speak they breathe forth fire
And got me pinned to the floor
Now just second class
All those things they promised me
Now have come to pass
I feel like I missed a train
Or watched it go right by
Now I wish for one more chance
One more shot at life
But I've never felt no chains sitting up on the fence
I used to be afraid of dying
Now I realize
Dying was the easiest part
Now I'm afraid of time
Who shows no dignity
Come with a scheme and a plan
Came to persecute me
I lay my soul among lions
Their tongues are sharper than swords
To speak they breathe forth fire
And got me pinned to the floor
