lyrics

Rain falls down on this dirt floor town
As I'm spitting into the wind
Another door closes and and another door closes
And I'm left wonderin'
Am I a man or just a cog in the machine
What do think they'll do when I can't pay rent next week

Lookin' at me in the same old ways
Pay my debts in cents on a broken wage

Leaving me caught in a crossfire
Everywhere I go
Is that what you wanted
I want to know

Can you hear the sound
I can hear the silence when you don't call
You still don't call
And I'm so sick of trying
Trying to be something that I'm not
Trying to earn just a little more than I got

Ten-story walk up to a one room life
You don't know me but you know what I'm like

Leaving me caught in a crossfire
Everywhere I go
Is that what you wanted
I want to know

If you're sayin' I'm wrong I'll sing along

Leaving me caught in a crossfire
Everywhere I go
Is that what you wanted
I want to know
