lyrics

your home was broken into
to house a thieve
and the systems they failed you
gave you no release
so with a knife in your hands
you put that thieve to sleep

and the flashing lights fill your eyes
and spot lights wash the room
there will be no getting out of this
they've got all of your exits
was it ever your plan?

when the object of you love was taken
your love it turned to hating the one
who did the taking of it all
you're here to settle the score

tnd stepping onto the balcony
stained red with blood and rifle-beams
you screamed, you screamed
you can't take nothing from me

the night was broke
with the crack of them guns
the muzzles flash and he was gone
but they couldn't take him from me
you can't take nothing from me

and the story told
by old men will go
there was a man who lived his life
for nothing at all
unless we recall

Lyrically, he manages to be earnest, literate and reflective without getting mired in treacly digressions." (Dave Herrera, The Westword) ... more
