Built to Last
Barefootin' in the desert sand
To take the poison pill from the lion's hand
Maybe now I will understand
And lead a better life, be a better man
Everybody's gonna cash their check
And make a day of it when it comes to an end
Our lives slip through their hands
But I'm sick of it, I've made a brand new plan
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I must have said the words a million times
Tried to stay in control, tried to move through the lines
I got the storm at my beck and call
I brought the water down and put an end to it all
Everybody's gonna cash their check
And make a day of it in this burning land
Barefootin' in the desert sand
I took the poison pill from the lion's hand
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
Drinking in the Last Chance Saloon
While they swirl outside and sing of death to the moon
Don't feel the ground or the breeze at night
You wanna get out of here you'd better get it right
You're out of balance in the city night
So many memories of the burning land
And barefootin' in the desert sand
To take the poison pill from the lion's hand
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
To take the poison pill from the lion's hand
Maybe now I will understand
And lead a better life, be a better man
Everybody's gonna cash their check
And make a day of it when it comes to an end
Our lives slip through their hands
But I'm sick of it, I've made a brand new plan
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I must have said the words a million times
Tried to stay in control, tried to move through the lines
I got the storm at my beck and call
I brought the water down and put an end to it all
Everybody's gonna cash their check
And make a day of it in this burning land
Barefootin' in the desert sand
I took the poison pill from the lion's hand
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
Drinking in the Last Chance Saloon
While they swirl outside and sing of death to the moon
Don't feel the ground or the breeze at night
You wanna get out of here you'd better get it right
You're out of balance in the city night
So many memories of the burning land
And barefootin' in the desert sand
To take the poison pill from the lion's hand
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
I'm built to last
