Nineteen Seventy Nine - Rich Williams

A little worm (a little worm) In a sea of shit (in a sea of shit) Take the wrong turn (take the wrong turn) In your face I spit You left me in the corner of your eye You left me in the corner of your eye You left me in the corner of your eye You left me in the corner of your Eye I take it personally You are versed in virtually nerfing the herd belief Heard at least twenty people take turns to speak I'm sick of feeling like I'm a villain in the first degree Stick your middle fingers up and flip 'em to God I don't know anybody out there that can get me a job Not the one that I just put 'em in then they take 'em away I wanna see about all of the buckets of venomous animals a different way I wanna feel something I wanna feel something I wanna feel something I wanna feel something I want to be the one who hurts you I want to be the one that cares Feelings intense, they're hard to swallow It feeds the fear Now soldier on (now soldier on) Shattered stillborn (shattered stillborn) All hope is gone (all hope is) No roses ever come without thorns (hahaha) Yeah I wanna take you outside and see what you taste like Like bombs with gasoline hanging from a children's kite I want to be the one who hurts you I want to be the one that cares Feelings intense, they're hard to swallow It feeds the fear

Let's start it here Back in nineteen-seventy-sumthin' I can't pin down the year When the romance wasn't dead And love still stood for something There was a girl who had lost her way She blushed red when he came over And they danced the night away And he sung as he drove her home and It was there that she would say If I could than I would save you And he smiled and turned away In six weeks they're saying "I do" Oh, love just don't go that way no more In life the seed becomes the tree Would take shape of a family We grow and we change And face the rain like you wouldn't believe And through it all We're standing tall And we just don't say it enough If not for you, no we wouldn't be standing at all And now it's nineteen-ninety-sumthin' How the hell did we end up here? Four kids and a few jobs later And the pictures fill the pages It's been hard, oh it's been hard But you'd be a fool to give it up Cause you know that what we've got is bigger than the two of us It's been hard, oh it's been hard But it's bigger than the two of us And I will hold you in my arms When you feel like giving up Love just don't go that way no more In life the seed becomes the tree Would take shape of a family We grow and we change And face the rain like you wouldn't believe And through it all We're standing tall And we just don't say it enough If not for you, then we wouldn't be standing at all And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin' We made it here my dear Grandkids and the mortgage paid off Is this what dreams are made of? Cause baby we made it Yeah baby you saved me But nothing could save him From the ambulance that day When he went away The heart attack was sharp He didn't feel no pain If you saw him now then what What would you say I love you and I miss you I owe you everything And I hope you know you saved me Oh mother Mother please don't cry Cause you know I miss him too I didn't even say goodbye And though he's gone, I know he's gone He lives on in all of us And I will hold you when you cry Because that's what he would have done Yeah, that's what he would have done Yeah, that's what he would have done It's been hard, oh it's been hard But he's a part of all of us And we will hold you when you cry Because that's what family does

Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know Like how to deal with despair or someone breakin' your heart Twelve years I've held it all together But a night like this is beggin' to pull me apart I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would And now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could Everyone's caught on to everything you do Everyone's caught on to As if it happening wasn't enough I gotta go and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked Ignore the sun, the cover's over my head Wrote a message on my pillow that says "Jesse, stay asleep in bed" Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die) Search your shelf for something which to hang yourself They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven But they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell Everyone's caught on to everything you do Everyone's caught on to Everyone's caught on to everything you do (and I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to (and I can't let you let me down again) So is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with 'Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish I've seen more guts in 11-year-old kids Have another drink and drive yourself home I hope there's ice on all the roads And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt And again when your head goes through the windshield Is that what you call tact? You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back So let's end this call and end this conversation And is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with 'Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed When you say "best friends" means friends forever Is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with 'Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish I've seen more guts in 11-year-old kids Have another drink and drive yourself home I hope there's ice on all the roads And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt And again when your head goes through the windshield Everyone's caught on to everything you do (and I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to (and I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to everything you do (and I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to (and I can't let you let me down again)

You know I like it when I was nineteen 그 눈빛은 아마도 제일 빛났지 왠지 몰라도 더 선명했었어 점점 멀어져 의미도 없이 Those days long ago The good times It was good You are so deep And I feel like Oh It must be beautiful Yeah it must be beautiful 저 구름 어디 And I keep going through 조금 멀리 더 멀리 더 Feels almost like a dream And I don't wanna see How I feel This is my fantasy 그 어디든 그 모습 그대로 난 umm 누구든 가끔 딴 곳을 보잖아 흔한 핑계들로 세상을 보는 사람들에게 내 맘을 내어 줄래 점점 멀어져 없었던 듯이 Those days long ago The good times You are so deep And I feel like Oh It must be beautiful Yeah it must be beautiful 저 구름 어디 And I keep going through 조금 멀리 더 Umm that's what I like And I vibe with you Feels almost like a dream And I don't wanna see How I feel This is my fantasy 그 어디든 손 닿을 수 있는 그곳까지 그때 그 모습 그대로

There's a day when all hearts will be broken When a shadow will cast out the light And our eyes cry a million tears Help won't arrive There's a day when all courage collapses And our friends turn and leave us behind Creatures of darkness will triumph The sun won't rise When we've lost all hope And succumb to fear As the skies rain blood And the end draws near I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall There's a place where we'll stand outnumbered Where the wolves and the soul-less will rise In the time of our final moments Every dream dies There's a place where our shields will lay shattered And the fears all that's left in our hearts Strength and our courage have run out We fall apart When we lose our faith And forsake our friends When the moon is gone And we reach our end I may fall There's a moment that changes a life when We do something that no one else can And the path that we've taken will lead us One final stand There's a moment we make a decision Not to cower and crash to the ground The moment we face our worst demons Our courage found When we stand with friends And we won't retreat As we stare down death Then the taste is sweet I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall I may fall I may fall I may I may fall

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near
