Lyrics
"Rock The Reaper"
You keep spendin' all your time
lookin' for rock someone left behind
Livin' in shadows so you won't be seen
Feelin' grey and in between.
A c-note just won't be enough
the rocks are small
the deal is tough
Your ridin' a river with nothin' but falls
What'cha gonna do when the reaper calls?
(Chorus)
Your messin' in places better left alone
Should be livin' in a halfway home
The streets are rough
your no hanger
What'cha gonna do when you meet a real banger?
Gone with your money
runoff with your rock
Lucky your breathin'
and able to walk
Someday your luck is gonna take a turn
and the Reaper'll be there to see you burn!
Break
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Everydays another round
of scroungin' pennies off the ground
fearin' you won't find enough
your habits bad and times are tuff.
The local dealer knows that your in pain
but money talks your pleas are all in vain.
Chorus:
Tag
What'cha gonna do when the Reaper calls your name?
Nowhere to run its the end of a dangerous game
Drive you insane
Cookin' your brain
Who's to blame for playin' the Reaper's game..
