Every night I swallow my pride Your complete indifference
I’ll take in my stride
Like a whore in the street I’ll take cash in hand
Afford you the time to sink One more round
Saw you cry in your beer As the barman rang time
This ain’t my swan song
I’ve got reason I’ve got rhyme
You flirt with lines Of the song you know best
The one about whiskey To hell with the rest
The one about green fields Sweethearts at home
The’re all in your head And your there all alone
Saw you cry in your beer As the barman rang time
This ain’t my swan song
I’ve got reason I’ve got rhyme
The chains of freedom Dazzle your eyes
The freedom you fought for and then sacrificed
The yoke ‘round your neck, the cuffs on your hands
The dream that you swallowed to pay Uncle Sam
Saw you cry in your beer As the barman rang time
This ain’t my swan song
I’ve got reason I’ve got rhyme
The lions rolled over and fell deep in sleep
Kicked by the master like a dog in the street
When ordered to jump the questions How High ?
Blind you with choice and spoon feed you lies
Saw you cry in your beer As the barman rang time
This ain’t my swan song
I’ve got reason I’ve got rhyme
