Track 1 on Side B on The Arcs vs. Inventors Vol. 1 featuring Mac Rebennack (Dr. John) on piano and David Hidalgo on guitar.
[Verse 1]
Hold me
But don’t control me
I’m just a traveler here
So have no fear
Don’t you dare obey
[Verse 2]
Golden
Just like we planned it
But it's so fast it fell
Down the deepest well
Light turns into heat
[Chorus]
I’ve been blessed and I’ve been burned
Took the test and what I learned
'Cause I’m older but not wiser
I’ve been blessed and I’ve been burned
By this
[Verse 3]
Fade it
Then fabricate it
They make up stories to
Remind us who
Makes the rules 'round here
[Chorus]
I’ve been blessed and I’ve been burned
Took the test and what I learned
Is I’m older but not wiser
I’ve been blessed and I’ve been burned
By this
