The Grind

There hasn't been much lately to say

I've been biting tongues on endless answers

Slipping thoughts back in

It's just an endless lie today

My head is filling up fast with junk

I got my eyes set straight ahead

Time is running back and forward

You put me on a shelf to sit and smile

Say I could look real nice

Baton rouge, high heels red lips

Have a real nice life

You'll have a real nice life

The sun comes up too late in the morning

The sun comes up too late in the morning

The sun comes up too late in the morning

I don't wanna see that sun no more

There hasn't been much lately to say

I've been biting tongues on endless answers

Pushing thoughts back in

I had a lot to say to you about the state

of things today

But now I'm sitting in the ship

I'm just another part of it

I bought myself a dress

I made my hair look real nice

Speak when spoken to, I might have sold

my independent thought too

To make my life a little more comfortable

The sun comes up too late in the morning

The sun comes up too late in the morning

The sun comes up too late in the morning

I don't wanna see that sun no more

I'm like a dead fish swimming in a sea of

gold

In a Dubai river where I can't get drunk

I'm like a dead fish swimming in a sea of

gold

In a Dubai river where I can't get drunk

It's like David and Goliath

But I'm never gonna win

I fought my inadequacies to justify my

own cheap gain

And it's a rich man's world

To leave me sitting in the ship

I'm just another part of it

The sun comes up too late in the morning

The sun comes up too late in the morning

The sun comes up too late in the morning

I don't wanna see that sun no more
