lyrics

I tell ya sir I'm not the chosen one, but I know just what I'm sayin'
The path I choose is another son's - 'least I know where my head is layin'
We fought beneath the same creed and code, I broke my back to give it all
You gave the boys your best damned word, and me - nothing at all

Chorus:
I'll take your lies, I love your fear, who's the underdog now little man?
When tide rolls in and up the pier sandcastles melt, my rock is merely shaken, yeah.

You live on tears and others' sweat hear my word here comes the famine
A paltry feast for one so fat, I'll break my chains and go on living

Chorus

Sometimes I turn just to look back and I have only one regret
You're not aware of what you lack- what you give is what you get

Chorus

What you give is what you get and I got a feeling you'll get yours someday
What you give is what you get and I got a feeling you'll get yours someday
What you give is what you get and I got a feeling you'll get yours someday
What you give is what you get and I got a feeling you'll get yours someday
What you give is what you get and I know that, I'll get mine someday

Mischief
by S. J. Tucker

One of the most amazing artists I have ever worked with. The mind and soul of a songwriter twice her age, and the voice of an angel. Go, and find out the truth about ninjas. God and Tonic
