On the Brink

The man's got his hand on every dime I make
How much can I bend before I finally break
I have to work for what they all get for free
You know my family is depending on me

Beat up, run down, tired and shot
The endless grind is takin' all that I got
Nothing but news and none of it good
So many things I'd love to change if only I could

They got me down they got me doing time
I'd rather walk the plank than just fall in line, every time baby
Scars on my hand, the blood I spill
God knows they try but they won't break my will

Too many people with control over me
What I read, what I hear, what I say and everything I see
I'm the one who pays for my brothers' greed
Picking my pocket when there's people home to feed

They got me down they got me doing time
I'd rather walk the plank than just fall in line, every time baby
Scars on my hand, the blood I spill
God knows they try but they won't break my will

I'll never pretend
That this will ever end
It ain't the game that I choose
But one I'll never lose
Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna keep pushing through
I'm pushing through...

Only one thing matters at the end of the day
So, listen closely to what I'm about to say
Friends and family are like solid gold
They are the things that fill my soul

They got me down they got me doing time
I'd rather walk the plank than just fall in line, every time baby
Scars on my hand, the blood I spill, yeah
God knows they try but they won't break my will
They got me down got me doing time
I'd rather walk the plank than just fall in line
Scars on my hand, blood I spill
God knows they'll try but they won't break my will
