Sound of Madness - Live Acoustic from Kansas City

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] This is the sound of madness Everybody, on your feet People, everybody up Hands in the air [Intro] Yeah, I get it you're an outcast Always under attack Always coming in last Bringing up the past No one owes you anything I think you need a shotgun blast A kick in the ass So paranoid, watch your back Oh my, here we go [Verse 1] Oh my, here we go Another loose cannon gone bipolar Slipped down, couldn't get much lower Quicksand's got no sense of humor I'm still laughing like hell [Pre-Chorus] You think that by crying to me Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe You've been infected by a social disease Well, then take your medicine [Chorus] 'Cause I created the sound of madness Wrote the book on pain Somehow I'm still here to explain That the darkest hour never comes in the night And you can sleep with a gun But when you gonna wake up and fight For yourself? [Verse 2] 'Cause I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality If there's an afterlife, then it'll set you free But I'm not gonna part the seas You're a self-fulfilling prophecy [Pre-Chorus] You think that by crying to me Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe You've been infected by a social disease Well, then take your medicine [Chorus] I created the sound of madness Wrote the book on pain Somehow I'm still here to explain That the darkest hour never comes in the night And you can sleep with a gun But when you gonna wake up and fight For yourself? [Bridge] I created the sound of madness Wrote the book on pain Somehow I'm still here to explain That the darkest hour never comes in the night You can sleep with a gun But when you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up, and fight? [Chorus] 'Cause I created the sound of madness Wrote the book on pain Somehow I'm still here to explain That the darkest hour never comes in the night You can sleep with a gun But when you gonna wake up For yourself? [Outro] When you gonna wake up and fight For yourself? When you gonna wake up and fight For yourself? [Spoken Outro] Everybody, this is still a Shinedown show So if you would please Everyone, get your fists in the air Damn Now we got the blood pumpin'? Thank you very, very much You can have a seat though, sit down Thank you The uh, the next song is actually one of my fathers, one of my fathers favorite songs
