Dead Man Lyrics by Have Nots

Proud

0

Dead man walking like a wind up toy
Plodding, never plotting for the things that bring him joy
Living in the movies like he's celluloid
And then it's over, so roll the credits now
Dead man standing single file in every line
Gave up on the searching, he was scared of what he'd find
Waiting waiting waiting for his stars to come aligned
And then it's over
But I don't wanna live like I'm heading to the grave
No I don't wanna live that way
I got a purpose and a plan, and I don't wanna live like a dead man
Dead man live it up, it's just another show
He knows she only loves him for his money and his blow
It's like he never saw the sense in reaching past the status quo
And then it's over, and then he's underground
Dead man shuffling down another city street
Can't lift up his head and he can't pick up his feet
You can see his resignation and acceptance of defeat
And then it's over
But I don't wanna live like I'm just another slave
No I don't wanna live that way
I got a purpose and a plan, and I don't wanna live like a dead man
Stagnant and so sedentary (not until I'm dead and buried)
Lobotomized automatons (we ain't no sons of Babylon)
Blinded by our gilded chains (let's make a mark not just a stain)
As long as we're alive there's life to live
Dead man slipping through his twilight years
Come to realize that he's never faced his fears
But there ain't no second chances, just regret and bitter tears
And then it's over
But I don't wanna live like my life is just a cage
No I don't wanna live that way
I got a purpose and a plan, and I don't wanna live like a dead man
No I don't wanna live like it's just another day
No I don't wanna live that way
I got a purpose and a plan, and I don't wanna live like a dead man
