Lyrics
Well there you were calling
One hand would tell your future
But with one foot in a grave
You turned into a slave
Lost and depraved
First of all we fell in head first in
When you go like that you know
There's no looking back
You never would come back
From that side of the track
You tell me you're hurting now and
Tell me you're down
I see you've been hanging on the wrong side of town
You said "Give me your money boy" and
Then took your pride
You gave me your rights and didn't bother
To put up a fight
So you found your medicine
The poison messing with your head
Like a bat out of hell
You're talking so cheap
In the nostalgia you dwell
To addiction compelled
But tell me
If everyone's falling
In and out of consciousness
Is worthiness all but washed down the drain
To drown the pain
Cause I've been and done that too
You tell me you're hurting now and
Tell me you're down
I see you've been hanging on the wrong side of town
You said "Give me your money boy" and
Then took your pride
You gave me your rights and didn't bother
To put up a fight
Watched you grow from an innocent boy
Into nothing but a drugged out toy
Saw you sink but you couldn't swim
I couldn't always be there to go out on a limb
I tried and tried to make you see the light
Thought that in the end a friend could do right
But all that we stood for didn't matter at all
You trade it all for a scar
You tell me you're hurting now and
Tell me you're down
I see you've been hanging on the wrong side of town
You said "Give me your money boy" and
Then took your pride
You gave me your rights and didn't bother
To put up a fight
Hand in your resignation
For a lifetime chance
It's not what you did
It's what you didn't do that you can't redeem
Forget your reservations
The demons on your back
Will keep you company when
You're roaming the wrong side of the tracks
