There?s a swelling in my chest
As I hear you slam the door
I try to catch my breath
The sweat begins to pour
We were angry for so long
We don?t pretend or try to hide
The truth that proves too strong
To keep it bottled up inside
It?s a long time, a very long time
A long time to get it right
I smell the neighbor?s smoke
Coming in through my window
I?d damn sure have one now
But I quit a year ago
I'm staring right straight down
At the rust spots in the sink
Too pissed off to talk about it
Too messed up to think about
The reasons I should stay
And the need I feel to go
But I know I will remain
And do my best to grow
We learn to look for freedom
Where once we were enslaved
Cannot release our spirits
Until we purge the rage
Ain?t got no kind of future
Just been chewing on the past
Better change your ways, cowboy up
And chose the pride down fast
