My Own Two Eyes  

By VikingRaider.com

I woke up this mornin’ and it happened again,

I saw that lion trapped in a pen.

I can’t wash it off; I’ll never be clean,

It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you are seen.

Trying to cut through the slander and lies,

I see the world better with my own two eyes.

 

 

I drive down that road nearly every day.

I’m bending over backwards just to earn some pay.

And when I get home I can’t believe it.

The money’s gone before I receive it.

Trying to cut through the slander and lies, I see the world better….

 

 

Sometimes it seems when I’m doin’ my best

It’s not good enough to pass the test

I’d rather be sailing out on the sea,

But then I come back to reality.

Trying to cut through the slander and lies, I see the world better….

 

 

The food, the water, even the air,

When I’m feeling bad, they don’t really care.

If this is what you think it’s like to be free,

I got some news, you better listen to me.

Trying to cut through the slander and lies, I see the world better….

 

 

They tell me I need to tighten’ my belt.

They don’t bother asking how I felt.

I’m doin’ what I can to fight through the pain.

And then they try to tel me that I’m going insane.

Trying to cut through the slander and lies, I see the world better….
