Better the devil you know
Confess, I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the stress the test caused
Had me up and on the board
Now I'm chairman of the board
I'm coming back for sequels
Do you ever really think you've won? Now you're feeble
Nothing on this far-gone son, all these people
They're laughing at the shit I've done
I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze
And took it back home in a trunk
Met a matador who said it's my woman is more
Terrifying than any red bull that he saw
Set a sail, set a rail, met them kings and queens
There's so many trust, just the amphetamines
Well, her dream would've been that the boy's got clean
That her father never got his heart
Caught up in the man's machine
Well, it seems even if I got away
There's always a part of me willing to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground traveling overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
Check, check, check, check
One, two, three, kick
I met Gods and monsters, women from Wisconsin
Swimming in linen with another that's not their partner
Chicago be selfish drum, on my journey I met Ernie
So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk
I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son
I'm a traitor and I'm on the run, watch 'em come
As she said while she driving in her car
Getting drunker than the bar
She's been smacking hard shoulders since before she's legal
I'm a dragnet right on through the city of sin
It's the hard done bastards taking it in
Well, I see what I say, save it on the way
They can't sit bawling but they're bawling away
Well, she cries all her tears but with all of her fears
Well, she run away, she had a place
Now all they ever see is the fears
Take it as she's seen it, get away
Well, there's always a part of us willing to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground traveling overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
So run, run Boyo, chase it to the border, border
Should have also told her I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine
Run Boyo, chase it to the border, border
Should have also told her I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground traveling overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
