By Willie Dixon Put it in your pocket, leave it in your shoe. Plug it in your socket, flush it down the loo. Hey baby, show me something new. Put it in your hat, put it in your can. Feed it to your cat, share it with your band. Hey baby, help me understand. Well they're fighting in the kitchen and they're fighting in the hall. Up against the dark and up against the wall. Why don't you meet me in the bottom, baby; bring your running shoes.

Well I'm standing all alone by the river of my home Thinking about the days I've left behind All the years I roamed not a nickel can I show And the river helps to ease my worried mind Well the river run all night, lord, the river runs all day I can't run no more cause I'm here to stay I had an eye for trouble and I've lived a life of pain I sit back and let that water heal my brain I'm letting go of all my troubles I think I'll be right here to stay Well the water keeps a churning while my poor heart is burning Muddy water take my pain away Well one thing I want to know, lord, is where we people go When everything comes crashing to the ground Meet me at the creek grab a beer and tap your feet See that muddy water flowing down I'm letting go of all my troubles I think I'll be right here to stay Well the water keeps a churning while my poor heart is burning Muddy water take my pain away Well I'm standing all alone by the river of my home Thinking about the days I've left behind All the years I roamed not a nickel can I show And the river helps to ease my worried mind I'm letting go of all my troubles I think I'll be right here to stay Well the water keeps a churning while my poor heart is burning Muddy water take my pain away Muddy water take my pain away

This is the last time that I try I reached the ceiling, not the sky No one knows what I've been through I bit off more that I could chew It's not easy constantly reminding that this life's worth Worth living in slow motion But time keeps slipping from me If I could only find the words to tell everyone If I could only find the strength to own who I wanna be I sit and pout alone in the dark Is anybody listening, is it making any difference This is the last song that I'll sing I'll pack my bags and sell my things It's come too far it meant nothing The weight of the world reigns down on me Just give me a reason, better yet a space to To breathe and don't judge me I'll go home empty handed If I could only find the words to tell everyone If I could only find the strength to own who I wanna be I sit and pout alone in the dark Is anybody listening, is it making any difference You don't get to tell me who I gotta be Get to tell me what I gotta do You don't get to give and take it all away Get to come and fix all my mistakes I never wanted this

Is this what you wanted, for me to be honest I've got no more patience, got nothing to wait for And you weren't worth it the time that I put in But my eyes are open and I know you're hoping That maybe one day we'll come back to what we knew And maybe one day you'll get another chance to But make no mistake things have changed for the better I'm done with your bullshit, won't climb social ladders And why am I always the one who gets fucked And I'm always the one who puts all the effort You get what you give but that's never the case And I'm sick and I'm tired, so don't cross my fences I did my best to keep it all together You did your worst and I know things will never change Did you forget, did you forget, did you forget where I come from Do you regret, do you regret, do you regret the things you said I've got no sympathy anymore I wish I could go back to when things were simple To when I was younger, if we'd only met then I wouldn't have put up with any of this and You wouldn't have stood, not a chance against my friends But I guess you're lucky, you've taken advantage Of this personality, this tired face And the fact that I've got no more energy to waste But one day I'll snap and I'll smash your whole face in I did my best to keep it all together You did your worst and I know things will never change Did you forget, did you forget, did you forget where I come from Do you regret, do you regret, do you regret the things you said I've got no sympathy anymore

All this suffering Still not ready to go I know there's things We can't control All the time we have Still not ready to leave Can't let go of What's in front of me I should have let this go Wish you'd just shut me out Can't win when you're around Won't let this drag me down You should have let me go Not try to shut me down I guess you'll never never learn Get fucked there's no way out All this suffering Still not ready to go I know there's things We can't control All the time we have Still not ready to leave Can't let go of What's in front of me I read through our old conversations Looking for cracks in Our foundations I've read the letter I know You never read But I still need to know What you think of me All this suffering Still not ready to go I know there's things We can't control All the time we have Still not ready to leave Can't let go of What's in front of me

You think you know it all It's time to face yourself You sold your soul You took a path with no direction With no purpose But you can never hurt us No you can never hurt us Don't speak another lie Cause I can see through your disguise And here's another truth Don't say we just misunderstood And here's to everyone Who's set to fail before they have begun There's nothing left to beg for Empty stare Lay rest to everything behind Don't care Survival of the richest Don't you dare Pretend you understand A conversation overheard The conversation's over Moral degradation at its best The whole world is laughing You can't get rid of us We're not your waste But you never listen Reset your head to factory settings Cause you'll never get it Blind the eyes of our society Don't speak another lie Cause I can see through your disguise And here's another truth Don't say we just misunderstood And here's to everyone Who's set to fail before they have begun There's nothing left to beg for Don't speak another lie Cause I can see through your disguise And here's another truth Don't say we just misunderstood And here's to everyone Who's set to fail before they have begun There's nothing left to beg for
