Lyrics
Try to resist getting into this
Try as I may, can’t find the words to say,
Time after time, just sign the bottom line,
Don’t want to fight, even though you’re taking what’s mine,
Oh I spend my life waiting for what comes around
Trying to keep my feet firmly planted in the ground, yeah,
Hand me the pen, I’ll sign your settlement
I catch that grin as it slowly cracks open your skin
You’ve satisfied your hunger for revenge tonight
I won’t deny you this because where you’re going there won’t be any light
Oh I spend my life waiting for what comes around
Trying to keep my feet firmly planted in the ground, yeah
Oh I spend my life waiting for what comes around
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, let it come to me now
Life is hard for losers you say
Beggars can’t choosers no no
But I got a line on my inside that says
I’ll see you when I look behind me, oh
When I look behind me now, I…
Oh I spend my life waiting for what comes around, yeah,
Trying to keep my feet firmly planted in the ground, yeah,
Oh I spend my life waiting for what comes around
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, let it come to me now
Oh I, oh I, oh I…I, yeah,
