Backbone 歌词

As the days grow a little bit shorter And our sights grow dim It seems to matter to me The lies we've been fed The corruption and the hatred We've lived through our whole lives Will haunt us forever Morning, noon, and night Let me lean on my backbone So I'll still have my pride When they lay me down To die Well I've been here on this earth Seventy odd years Seen the best and the worst That we have here I've loved and I've won But lost most of the time I hope there was happiness I could share sometime Let me lean on my backbone So I'll still have my pride When they lay me down To die Well the truth has always been Right here in front of my nose Plain truth is something That's very hard to know I have myself to blame For covering my ears and my eyes And ignoring the truth Every time I've lied Let me lean on my backbone So I'll still have my pride When they lay me down To die So, in conclusion At the end of it all I hope I've learned something Probably nothing at all And that's about as good As one's life can get So I'll try to be better With what time I have left Let me lean on my backbone So I'll still have my pride When they lay me down To die When they lay me down here To die
