Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Went Numb lyrics

rate me

And the story goes like this: everything went numb for the money and the guns

and everytime he'd think it out: "there's nothing to worry about

get in the van, don't deviate from the plan

if everything goes smooth then you'll walk away a rich man"

so it begins, everybody walks in

could this be the way or the day that the underdog wins?

i think not, and i bet on the feds because the black hat men never win in the end so...

ski mask (check)

sawed off (check)

guilty conscience, fear of death (check check check)

everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought

was going to be another means to the end

the silence

the sirens

it all went down like his nightmare the night before

i don't want to hear

i don't want to be near

i do what i got to do just to keep my nose clean

the story doesn't end here

don't fear for our hero ain't near the end

my friend

let's take it back to how it all began: with a proposition

and proposition starts with a capital p

"or at least for me" is what he said to himself

but himself ain't a lot when he's got nothing left

of what was once a man, loved and loving

he took that trip that turns something to nothing

right and wrong

there's not a lot a difference when you're singing that poor man's song

and that song it goes just a little like this:

na na na...

ski mask (check)

sawed off (check)

guilty conscience, fear of death (check check check)

everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought

was going to be another means to the end

the silence

the sirens

it all went down like his nightmare the night before

i don't want to hear

i don't want to be near

i do what i got to do just to keep my nose clean
