There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief, yeah There’s too much confusion Mmm I can’t get no relief
Yeah I see jokers on my left, thieves upon my right You’d find me in the middle if I picked a different life Before my name started tripling in size But I’m still showing signs In the pitch black, it’s too cold I’m all alone take me back to the roads I had to rode to get here and I’ll hitch back Get a cab to my mother’s house See my old man and grab a six pack Tell my brother I love him And give him something that will see him through the hard times What’s a brother for? When I’m sick of this life I see It has to be my family who lift me off the floor Make sense of all the madness in a world full of money and … I was a failed man and worse I couldn’t give a **** Save your wine for the entrepreneurs
All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too, yeah Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl
Cause your world is the same as mine Pour more blood in your cup Take a sip full of sin and let your taste buds savour the buzz The flavour of an ill-mannered nature That lingers on as animals in all of us Trying to fight for the right to live a life But some will never win though That’s why they live a lie I don’t think I’ll ever win All of this is anything When I die I hope a brother’s at my side There’s no trap door, or get out clause The world can be your oyster or a set of jail doors You’ve seen mine, I think it’s time I see yours I bet you that we’ve been scarred by the same swords Some are lost some are Apart from the fact I live my life in the light and now I’m trapped in it The way I feel within a few years time I might have a couple kids and just forget I ever wrote this
All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too, yeah Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl
Take away the treasure of a man Convinced that he holds heaven in his hands Even though I ain’t religious I’m a little superstitious Maybe there is a promised land But will I make it or not is a different matter I’ve been a joker, I’ve been a thief, I’ve been a rapper I’ve been the only enemy that I can never beat Give me a piece of mind upon a platinum platter
