Weak One Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's not your promises that I don't respect They're cold comfort when I'm wrecked Reaching blindly out for you I've heard it said at least a thousand times before "Just keep knocking at the door of opportunity" [Chorus] I'm the weak one now And I don't need your sacred cows It's hard to drink the dreams Mingled ashes and the might-have-beens Kill the spirit, assail the flesh We amuse ourselves to death Holy words on bated breath Lose their meaning, 20th century Shut up [Accordion Solo] Oh! [Chorus] I'm the weak one now And I don't need your sacred cows It's hard to drink the dreams Mingled ashes and the might-have-beens Kill the spirit, assail the flesh We amuse ourselves to death Holy words on bated breath Lose their meaning, 20th century Shut up [Verse 2] Gold has lost its luster And the silver becomes dull Once I used to run with joy Now I can barely crawl I'd like to help you, brother I've washed my hands and dried The steely blade of science Never hypnotized me once [Chorus] I'm the weak one now And I don't need your sacred cows But it's hard to drink the dreams Mingled ashes and the might-have-beens Kill the spirit, assail the flesh We amuse ourselves to death Holy words on bated breath Lose their meaning, 20th century Shut up [Outro] Lose their meaning Lose their meaning Lose their meaning Lose their meaning Lose their meaning Lose their meaning Lose their meaning Yeah
