lyrics

MEN WHO DISPLAY A DIFFERENT KIND OF PAIN

All his life he’s been in trouble
He had to make that work for him
Not let others use it against him
That’s the way he always thought

They say they haven’t got a chance
Men conditioned like him
Hard men, loud men, tough men
Men out of sorts with place and time
Men who are born to crime
Compelled to the drama and the grime
Men who go against the grain

The only things that make life worth living are the things that kill
Now that makes sense to him
And maybe this city has a heart
Himself he’s never found it

They say they haven’t got a chance
Men conditioned like him
Hard men, loud men, tough men
Men out of sorts with place and time
Men who are born to crime
Compelled to the drama and the grime
Men who go against the grain

I tried going straight
I just couldn’t make it
I saw another chance
I just had to take it
Nearly died a few times
Never had that need to fake it
Something inside of me
Works best when it is fuelled by hatred

He knows he has made mistakes
But now he gives you his word
All those things
The violence, the theft, the deals
They’re true
But they’re in the past
He will give you confessions if you want them
You can go over every murder one by one
To him, that’s not important, not now
But let it go, and watch you run
And how your love will last
The days of mean and blood and ignorance are over
For now
