Setting Son 03:11
Won’t ask, can’t you tell? This place is a living hell, turn your back on everything Don’t ask, I won’t tell Hurt the ones you love, don’t rebel Paint your faith on everyone, give birth to a setting son Don’t you want me to see this through? Don’t you want my blacks and blues? Say you want me Don’t you want me to see this through? Don’t you want my blacks and blues? Say you want me Don't you want me? Count your blessings, you count the stars Count your money, you count your scars This one goes out to those who work to die as life unfolds Don’t you want me to see this through? Don’t you want my blacks and blues? Say you want me Don’t you want me to see this through? Don’t you want my blacks and blues? Say you want me Don't you want me? Don’t you want me to see this through? Don’t you want my blacks and blues? Say you want me Don't you want me, say you want me Don't you want me, say you want me Say you want me Don't you want me? Count your blessings, you count the stars Count your money now

I’ve got friends I’ve never met People ‘round the country are giving me the bends They say things they don’t mean Cause we’re all stuck in this game, musical food chain Good things come to those who wait Got caught in the rain, leave me out to dry Martyred on the inside, too broke up to cry I’ll be left to hang if it’s all the same to you Keep me in your pocket and I’ll salivate for truth Good things come to those who wait Good things come to those who wait on tables Hey man, maybe it won’t be long, until they all sing your songs I’ve got friends I’ve never met Careful what you say boy, don’t bite the hand that mends Good things come to those who wait Good things come to those who wait on tables Hey man, maybe it won’t be long, until they all sing your songs

So far gone with a little overbite, it’s got me thinking for two Breaking out in the middle of the night, the streets are chasing the spirits like you So, so long middle of the night Got up just to come back down Breaking out in the middle of the night What’s lost can’t always be found Your head’s wrong if you’re thinking that it’s right Don’t remember your eyes being so blue Speaking in tongues it’s not right… The streets are chasing the spirits like you So, so long middle of the night Got up just to come back down Breaking out in the middle of the night What’s lost can’t always be found The truth will set you free So, so long middle of the night Got up just to come back down Breaking out in the middle of the night What’s lost can’t always be found

Got stuck in the mirror, making eyes with my superiors Thought about joining the national army Daydreamed blue-jeaned Elvis Presleys shaking their fists at me Thought no, I’m too young and killing’s not for me Cracked the mirror from smiling, I’m not me, I’m inferior Thought about joining the police department Nightmare tweed jacket Clint Eastwoods shaking hands with me Thought, no… And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow Got caught in reflection, wide-eyed I still can’t get them Thought about jumping ship, head for the arctic Daydreamed killer icebergs drowning me Thought no, I hate the cold and I’m already passed living And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow What you know? Touched my face 1,000 times, hoping someone would take me home And love me decently; lay me down upon the floor She turned me on and then she turned on me Got stuck in the mirror - got stuck, got stuck And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow What you know?

When I was young I didn’t know why, I wore my heart on my sleeve When I was just a little boy, I was in love with you, I was in love with you Remember when youth shook our bones? Age came upon us like an ancient plague It was the second coming of you, guess all the rumors were true You were the judge, I rested my case But the jury they hung around, they kept the faith Remember when youth shook our bones? Remember when! Remember when youth shook our bones? Youth shook our bones all night long…

Southern cross on a Northern tomb Same one from under that harvest moon I never wanted anything Spilled her guts, now she wants me to clean 'em up She's my Lord, my Saviour, I drink from that cup I never wanted anything You shall not want anything You shall not want anything that was meant for you Don't be a fool, just show your teeth and make 'em bleed You shall not want anything Blackout drunk and so depressed Your stolen youth's in a summer dress I never wanted anything I'll take what's mine, if you leave what's yours You can't go around blocking open doors I never wanted anything You shall not want anything You shall not want anything that was meant for you Don't be a fool, just show your teeth and make 'em bleed You shall, You shall, You shall not want anything You shall not want anything You shall not want anything You shall not want anything You shall not want anything You shall not want anything
