Lyrics

It's been a long time
On a burning, bad ride
I've learned, I've loved and I've lied
Yes, I've lied
About the good times
The love I had to find
I learned the strength of my hide
Down inside, inside, down inside

I've been bested by tried, true and tested
Ways of keeping men down
But I'm calm, cool, collected
I got one foot rested
It is here on the ground
That keeps me sound

With bare feet and cold hands
Through mudslides and minivans
Sang songs while swallowing the sand
It ain't that bad
I've felt the earthquake
It'll make your mind shake
I found out that fortunes are fake
They are all fake

I've been bested by tried, true and tested
Ways of keeping men down
But I'm calm, cool, collected
I got one foot rested
It is here on the ground
That keeps me sound

Been down to my last cent
Just trying to make some sense
Bogged down and broke but I just bent, I bent, yes I bent

I've been bested by tried, true and tested
Ways of keeping men down
I've been bested by tried, true and tested
Ways of keeping men down
But I'm calm, cool, collected
I got one foot rested
It is here on the ground
That keeps me sound
