Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I been a man ever since I can remember
Never been a big fan of December
The nights get cold, oh no, oh no
Nobody there to take care of me
Nobody there to tell me that they love me
And nobody to hold, oh
[Verse 2]
But we were born and raised in the days
Where you couldn't even pay to get away from the pain
And that's where we live all day
Well, now we getting paid to be slaves of our very own brain
And I say it every goddamn day, that's no way to live
No way
[Verse 3]
I been called a murderer, a killer
I'm just playing with the hand that they deal us, oh no
I been called a loser, an outlaw
Shot down in my very own backyard
In this crazy world, we all deserve
A second cha-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In this crazy world, we all deserve
A second cha-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't back down, don't back down not now, not never
[Verse 4]
What's your agenda?
I never claimed that I wasn't a sinner
And bless my soul, oh
I been down for too many days
I might drown in all this hate
It's outta control, oh, ooh
[Verse 5]
Oh, but we were born and raised in the days
Where you couldn't even pay to get away from the pain
And that's where we live permanently
But now we getting paid to be slaves of our very own brain
And I say it every goddamn day, that's no way to live
No, not for me
[Verse 6]
'Cause I been called a murderer, a killer
I'm just playing with the hand that they deal us, oh no
I been called a loser, an outlaw
Shot down in my very own backyard
In this crazy world, we all deserve
A second cha-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In this crazy world, we all deserve
A second cha-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't back down, don't back down not now, not never
[Verse 7]
Who better to fix you other than you, ooh
Oh hey, you know exactly what you want
You know exactly what you gotta do
You just gotta, you just gotta, you just gotta, you just gotta do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
You just gotta, just gotta, gotta, you just gotta, you just gotta do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, oh
[Verse 8]
'Cause I been called a murderer, killer
I'm just playing with the hand that they deal us, yeah
I've been called a loser, outlaw
Shot down in my very own backyard
In this crazy world, we all deserve
A second cha-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In this crazy world, we all deserve
A second cha-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't back down, don't back down not now, not never
