HAGGIS LYRICS
LAND OF THE LOST
NO MONEY AND RENT IS LATE
YOUR LANDLORD TELLS YOU TO VACATE
NOWHERE TO GO, WHAT WILL YOU DO
ON YOUR OWN, ALL ALONE
WITH NO PLACE TO CALL HOME
NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU
CHORUS:
AMERICA: LAND OF THE FREE
IF YOU’VE GOT MONEY
AMERICA: LAND OF THE LOST
FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T BEAR THE COST
IN THE DARK, IN THE COLD
LEGS TIRED, ABOUT TO FOLD
NEED SOMEWHERE TO SLEEP TONIGHT
IT GETS COLDER AND YOU GET NUMB
STILL HOPING THAT THE DAY WILL COME
THAT YOU CAN GET OUT OF THIS PLIGHT
CH:
THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THE STREET
BEGGING FOR FOOD TO EAT
OR A PLACE TO SPEND THE NIGHT
MORE PEOPLE HOMELESS EVERYDAY
CUZ OF RENT THEY JUST CAN’T PAY
DESTITUTE WITH NO HELP IN SIGHT
BITTER
YOU KNOW YOU WERE SO LONELY
BUT YOU WERE THE ONE AND ONLY
TO HER YOU’RE JUST A GOOD FRIEND
TO HER YOU’RE JUST A GOOD FRIEND
YOU KNOW IT FILLS HER WITH SORROW
IT’S THE BITTER PILL YOU SWALLOW
SHE’S GOT A DATE TONIGHT
SHE’S HANGING WITH MR. RIGHT
CHORUS
YOU KEEP ON DRINKING x 3
YOU KEEP ON DYING x 3
YOU KEEP ON LOSING x 3
YOU KEEP ON LYING
ONLY LYING TO YOURSELF
IT ENFORCES YOUR SELF HATRED
ANOTHER DARK COLOR TO THE WORLD YOU’VE PAINTED
YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM HER
YOU TAKE ENOUGH GRIEF FROM HER
GROWING
I’M GROWIN’ OLDER NOW
I WIPE THE SLEEP RIGHT FROM MY EYES
I’M GETTING OLDER NOW
I HAVE SEEN THROUGH YOUR DECEPTIONS AND YOUR LIES
CHORUS
DON’T YOU GROW OLD ON ME
DON’T YOU GIVE UP ON ME
I’M GROWIN’ OLDER NOW
PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
I’M FEELING BETTER NOW
MOVIN’ FORWARD NEVER NEVER MOVIN’ BACKWARD NOW
FALLING SQUIRRELS
THERE’S CRISHAWN, SHE’S SITTING AT THE DRAWING TABLE
I’M AT WORK RIGHT NOW I’LL BE HOME SOON AS I AM ABLE
I’M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF WATCHING FALLING SQUIRRELS
I’D RATHER BE AT HOME WHERE PEOPLE DON’T TREAT ME LIKE A PARIAH
I TEND TO TALK TOO SOFT
PEOPLE (MY FRIENDS) DON’T UNDERSTAND
I TEND TO DRINK A LOT
LATELY IT’S OUT OF HAND, IT’S OUT OF HAND AND THAT IS WHY:
CHORUS
I’D RATHER BE HOME WITH YOU x 3
THAN WATCHING FALLING SQUIRRELS
