Clean Slate

The band began to play because the war ended today
But we all know it's gonna last
When you step back in line you'll find you're out of time
You can't unmake your troubled past
For years I've toiled and slaved to pay the debts I've made
Every dime and cent that's due
I had a clean slate but the hour was growing late
So I racked them up anew

Gonna push it all out
Then pull you on up
Gonna push it all out, baby
Gonna push it all out
Then pull you on up
Gonna push it all out, baby

The birds of prey are settling in to stay
How do they know what's in store
The sharks are on my tail just waiting for me to fail
But I'm still swimming for the shore
I guess it ain't enough that i tried acting so tough
I don't think that you were fooled
I know you've suffered and I know your heart is bruised
But you wrote and broke the rules

Gonna push it all out
Then pull you on up
Gonna push it all out, baby
Gonna push it all out
Then pull you on up
Gonna push it all out, baby
