Empire Blues

You hear the song on the radio, it tells you which way to go.
But do you have any idea?
Any idea at all?
If you don’t rise, you'll fall.
You will fall down, but you will be free at last.

If you believed I would follow you,
Then you must be high out of your mind.
Oh Oh Oh
Where you going?
Don’t you recognize that all the lies are disguised in light?

Just getting by.

I’m just getting by on a nine to five.
Do I feel suicidal?
You best believe.
I am trying to see.
But i’m blinded by mercy.
Can I ever make it back?
