Kneel Lyrics by Dane Bachman

Hippies and Maniacs

2018

[Verse 1]
Every night, drivin' home
When I'm turnin' a corner
I'll flash my brights on
Flash 'em three times on
And on bad days I'll only flash 'em once

[Verse 2]
Dad hung himself with a tie
And mom hung herself with a lie
That she could lead a quiet life
And never have to say goodbye
To the few things that made her free

[Chorus]
And I am runnin' through my childhood
Just so I can crawl through adulthood
And be another schmuck in the human condition
So I might as well kneel

[Verse 3]
Be yourself but shut up
And don't say what's in your heart
They'll sew your fuckin' mouth shut
So you can be another one
Who wants to scream but looks just fine

[Verse 4]
So you live with your creeds
That you can't be free
And it's makin' me think
That there is logical reasoning
Behind 'man was born free but he is in chains'

[Chorus]
And I am runnin' through my childhood
Just so I can crawl through adulthood
And be another schmuck in the human condition
So I might as well kneel

[harmonica solo]

[Verse 5]
But I've got a perfect girl
And I'm livin' in the world
And I'm hurtling through the absurd
It's my oyster filled with pearls
And for now the system seems just fine

[Verse 6]
Someday the time'll come
When there's nowhere left to run
When all the thing that I have done
Are gonna burn up in the sun
So I might as well flash my brights three times
