lyrics

standing in the breadline, got no bread;
with a hole in your pocket, you can't get fed

you know you got to do just what you got to do
it isn't up to you, it's never up to you

the people outside just don't understand
you wouldn't need the money if they'd give you a hand

can't find a better way, must be a better way
but there's a price to pay, always a price to pay

it's been coming been coming a long time now
it's time to stand up and knock them down

where do you go when the king is a thief
and the law of the land brings no relief

you know you want to do just what you got to do
it's time for something new, past time for something new

wasting your time as a means to an end
when the rich got money you know they'll never spend

there is a better way, always a better way
it's their turn to pay, you know they have to pay

it's been coming been coming a long time now
it's time to stand up and knock them down
the truth was lost but it will be found
it's time to stand up and knock them down

These recordings feel knowingly classic but gently break through to make their own impression. Truly well crafted/produced songs with the right blend of skilled instrumentation and expressive lyricism. Mary of Rain and Tickets and Tapes are my favorites. a leaf
