The Gits - Daily Bread lyrics
rate meThere's a motion in daily silence<br />
That's the yeses swimming round my head<br />
I need to listen to my conscience<br />
The world puts me down instead<br />
<br />
I have four walls and they're to watch me<br />
The blankness jumps right off the page<br />
My fingers try to tear the paper<br />
A bitter moment is almost dead<br />
It's almost dead<br />
<br />
Come take my hand<br />
Thought I'd tell the bit of it<br />
And what makes sense<br />
And wait for all that I offer<br />
And they take my only bread<br />
<br />
And I leave another example of<br />
Well it leaves me, at about a thousand miles<br />
I feel the beating of the heartbreak<br />
I feel the beating of the sun<br />
And as I'm getting any closer<br />
Well I'm more than full of you<br />
In this place<br />
This hell<br />
<br />
Come take my hand<br />
Thought I'd tell the bit of it<br />
And what makes sense<br />
And wait for all that I offer<br />
And they take my only bread<br />
There's only so much I will take<br />
Bitterness is my rage<br />
And wait for all that I offer<br />
And they take my only bread<br />
<br />
Give yourself a break<br />
Your only bread<br />
Your only bread<br />
<br />
And they're down there<br />
See 'em lined up<br />
They're hungry on the pavement, feed them<br />
When they lay their hands out for a bit of your spare change<br />
I see the ones that are ignoring them<br />
You know their pockets are lined full of gold<br />
Clearly lined with their golden veins<br />
<br />
Come take my hand<br />
Thought I'd tell the bit of it<br />
And what makes sense<br />
They wait for all that I offer<br />
And they take my only bread<br />
There's only so much I should take<br />
Bitterness is no rage<br />
They wait for all that I offer<br />
And they take my only bread<br />
<br />
Your only bread<br />
But I sell the bread<br />
Their only bread<br />
<br />
They look down, down<br />
Oh they bring you down<br />
While all around them they line 'em on the docks, one by one<br />
For the rope around their ankle, the other end there is a rock<br />
One by one they dunk them over<br />
Sinking them over down into the ocean<br />
But then it's useless<br />
It has been for<br />
<br />
Come take my hand<br />
Thought I'd tell the bit of it<br />
And what of it makes sense<br />
And wait for all that I offer<br />
And they take my only bread<br />
There's only so much I will take<br />
Bitterness is my rage<br />
And wait for all that I offer<br />
And they leave empty hands<br />
<br />
Down<br />
Oh they're sending them down<br />
One by one they knock them over<br />
And they just sink down<br />
Suddenly down<br />
A simple down<br />
Let's all lay down
<br />
