I know what it means to be
Pedal steel lonesome.
Felt the blow from a punch,
Thrown when I'm down.
These ears have listened
To the wrong shoulder
Tried to die,
Chasing a mirage.
(I've seen days)
Make me want to get back to my feet again
(I've seen days)
Stare in their eyes with a bloody-toothed smile.
(I've seen days)
Not a man, not a man that can touch me
(I've seen days)
'cause I'm looking through what's in my way.
I've seen days.
You've got to be a monster
if you need to fight a demon.
I shook the Devil's hand,
With a knife behind my back.
Yes, I shook that fiery hand.
(and I've seen days)
Make me want to get back to my feet again
(I've seen days)
Stare in their eyes with a bloody-toothed smile.
(I've seen days)
Not a man, not a man that can touch me
(I've seen days)
'cause I'm looking through what's in my way.
I've seen days.
Justice is just a word for self-righteous men,
Fairness is just a tool used by dissent.
(I've seen days)
Make me want to get back to my feet again
(I've seen days)
Stare in their eyes with a bloody-toothed smile.
(I've seen days)
Not a man, not a man that can touch me
(I've seen days)
'cause I'm looking through what's in my way.
I've seen days.
