Just letting off a little steam, making a statement, and having some fun.
Used my CS 356 for the lead work. Has a very distinct sound.
Lyrics
Some folks are up at four AM
They work sixteen hours a day
They don't see their home, no they don't see their family
They're just working their whole life away
Some people lean on the ones who surround them
Just to make it through the day
They wait in the wings till the right one has found them
It seems they always find a way
They try to explain all the rules of the game
Still I'm wondering why
I don't understand
I just do what I can to get by
Some folks escape form the world that confines them
They put reality aside
They hide in the haze of the prison that binds them
Yeah you can see it in their eyes
Some folks believe there's a power that holds them
They're only here for the ride
They live in the world that ages have sold them
It's just another place to hide
They try to explain all the rules of the game
And still I'm wondering why
I don't understand
I just do what I can to get by
Just a sinner
Always a winner
Hey you've been living a lie
They steal form the poor
And they're feeding the kings
It's hard to ignore
what tomorrow might bring
Guess I don't understand
I just do what I can to get by
Solo
Well they try to explain all the rules of the game
And still I'm wondering why
I don't understand
I just do what I can to get by
Some folks are trapped in the web that they weave
They can see the way out but they just can't leave
Some will believe everything that they hear
Guess they'd rather believe cause it helps hide the fear
They try to explain all the rules of the game
And still I'm wondering why
I don't understand
I just do what I can to get by
Well they try to explain all the rules of the game
And still I'm wondering why
It's always the same
When you're playing the game
Just stay away
It'll drive you insane
I just don't understand
I just do what I can to get by
