Lyrics
Penniless One.
VERSE 1
Turned my back on my home town
with a face that was loud and proud.
Asked questions that people don't ask,
and broke the rules,
no social tools,
CHORUS
But I won't back down,
been stoned to the bone without a look back,
I may not die rich,
but I'll die loved.
VERSE 2
Had people tell me justice was done,
a round of drinks from the penniless one.
While Judas smiles to your face,
and the games played out,
he'll take your place.
CHORUS REPEAT
BRIDGE
The further away from it,
No whispers in my ear,
the happier I have become.
From paranoid confusion, grandiose delusion,
so pleased to be on the run.
CHORUS REPEAT.
I'll die loved
