Something’s Gotta Give

Looking deep inside my self
In a lonely two-man cell
I sigh for my mother and the others who cried out for help

Something's gotta give
But I know you’re gonna take from me

I remember VCR’s when lies were hard to prove
Now we’ve got screens and TV’s in our jeans but those lies never meant less to you

Something's gotta give
But I know you’re gonna take from me

I’ve harmonized with angels
I’ve danced with devils too
I’m not one to blame, but I’m getting for change
And I know that it better come soon

Something's gotta give
But I know you’re gonna take from me

Break, break, break
Break me down
I’m losing hold on what I’ve found
On silent roads

Something's gotta give
So do just what your told

Hustlers born before 13
Like whispers in the night
Making their way through handcuffs and pray
The tube says they’re doing alright

Something's gotta give
But I know you’re gonna take from me

Oh so love why'd you linger inside of my sheets
When the feeling of waking up takes you from me
I can’t hold you close this way, I used to believe
Father roll me down my grave I need some relief

Break, break, break
Break me down
I’m losing hold on what i’ve found
On silent roads

Something's gotta give
So do just what you're told

Break me down
I’m losing hold on what i’ve found

Something's gotta give
So do just what you're told
