lyrics

Have you ever met a man like me
Knuckle dragging at 6'3"?
My thoughts don't add up to much
I'm not known for my subtle touch
By I'll never throw my weight your way
I take my time with what I say
What I was ain't what I'll always be
It might not come so easily

And I can't say what I think
And I can't say how I feel
Just keeps pushing me to the brink
And all I want is to be real

I was the kind who would never learn
You wouldn't piss on me if I'd burn
My conclusions got the jump on me
My fear, anger and my bigotry
But that was then and this is now
I hope it doesn't matter anyhow
I can't make up for the things I've done
But I can try one by one

And I can't say what I think
And I can't say how I feel
Just keeps pushing me to the brink
And all I want is to be real

Oh no no, do not as I say
Oh no no, do not as I do
And how it is and how it will be
Is up to you

The future is coming, ten tonnes of nothing
It's a smash in the teeth if you want to be something
Claw your way out the gutter to get beaten down again
They call it the price of living
I've done my part to make the world that much colder
But was is worse
Is when the anger sticks in the gut of all of us

And I can't say what I think
And I can't say how I feel
Just keeps pushing me to the brink
And all I want is to be real
