Song Description

Reconciliation with bitter past.

Lyrics

Cowering Cretins (Hammen and Ralston)

Verse 1
You always were the one
To chase the girls you couldn?t have
And try to run in all the circles that were closed.

Prechorus
You hungered for acceptance, oh, so desperately
Saw you try, ?til you cried.
As quickly as they let you in, they shut you out
Left you in the pouring rain like a dog.

Chorus
Well, I guess you never thought you?d see the day
When they?d have nothing to say
Let me take you for a ride to find your peace of mind;
Judgment shines a light and the cretins cower.

Verse 2
You finally shook the demons
Who conspired to keep you down
And found a world that let you come into your own.

Prechorus
You kicked yourself for wasting time
Letting the bastards rob you of your pride.
In wisdom of the passing years
You found the strength to hold your head up high.

Chorus
But still, you always hoped to see the day
When they?d have nothing to say.
Let me take you for a ride to find your peace of mind;
Judgment shines a light (God will surely set things right)
And the cretins cower.
