Bloodline - Conor Oberst
Written by：Nik Freitas/Conor Oberst
Rolling around a lifetime on a name that spells my
Past
Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh
And if fools could only prosper I'm afraid what they
Might say
From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make
Because here it comes
Watch them all jump right in
Tell me how could you refuse to float with the
Rest of them
You were born into it there's no shame if you
Drift
Down the bloodline
Feeling temperamental underneath a broke sun
A certificate of excellence but no proof on your pay
Stub
And if money's not a problem I suggest you best
Believe
There's ten dollars on the table and a million up
His sleeve
And here they come watch them all pass us by
Tell me how could you refuse to look one in
The eye
Two sheets to the wind all over again
Down the bloodline
Down the bloodline
Yes it feels scary to be ordinary
In a world that don't know your name
It would not be weird if I just disappeared
Blowing my back out trying to hope I wake
Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke
Heart
Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to
Watch it fall apart
Now there's no room for ill complaining I know it's
All just what it is
Cherry pick my best believers and send them off with
A kiss
Because there they go
Watch them all wave goodbye
Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a
Wonderful life
Two shoots to the wind all over again
Down the bloodline
Down the bloodline
Down the bloodline
