LYRICS

I played my hand

I was down on my luck

I was broke like a clock

That forgot it was struck

There’s only so much

That one man can take

Before the walls start to fall

And the bend breaks

All of my life

I’ve been parked in the docks

I never knew

How broke that I was

I was shoveling coal

Into a furnace burned out

I was shoveling shit

Like it was silver & gold

It wasn’t until

You rode my back

And told me I was better than the life that I’d lead

Oh, my god…

I played my hand,

I was down on my luck

I was broke like a clock

That forgot it was struck

There’s only so much

That one man can take

Before the walls fall

And all the chains break
