From the recording Light It Up
Lyrics
It’s the aching that you feel
When you’re just trying to get ahead
It’s the ebbing of your will
It’s that wall that you just hit
Cause while the powerful
Are living off your suffering
Well that story might evolve, yes
But it don’t change
It’s a past that’s hard to shake
It’s a wolf outside your door
It’s a wretched race
To escape from the working poor
Cause while the powerful
Are living off your suffering
Well that story might evolve, yes
But it don’t change
It’s that myth that you cling to
It’s a hope for the desperate
When it fades then you’re back to
Your whiskey and cigarettes
Cause while the powerful
Are living off your suffering
Well that story might evolve, yes
But it don’t change
