The Scam Lyrics by My Good Man William

The Far Country

2018

Verse 1
Sometimes I grit my teeth too tightly
And my head will swell with pain
Sometimes my hands will sweat ever so slightly
And I will feel ashamed
Will you still hold them in the morning, all the same?
Verse 2
Sometimes my haughty heart gets prideful
And you risk watching me fall
Sometimes my lips might say something insightful
But really, really I’m just a fool
Will you still like me in the morning, if I don’t?
Rap
She told me: don’t grow old before your time
I told her: Im an old soul, so you know my soul’d fine
Im just trying to stay gold watching my culture lose it’s mind
Like vultures waiting for death, scared to take a life, it’s time I view the signs
But my generation is crazy, lazy, doing nothing
Trading emotions for emojis and swapping touching for buttons
I was sitting on a bus thinking “look how far we’ve come;
We have the world in our hands, but no words on out tongues”
Its funny
We obsess about trending, but can’t spend 144 characters on the persona at the end of our transactions
Or those we meet in the street, so we have less characters in ourselves than we do in our tweets, its bleak
Redeem me from the scam that told me that I am at the centre of the world
I’m just a broken man, singing:
Verse 3
If I’m selfless it’s a scam, because honestly, I am the one I love
Cause if I’m selfless it’s a scam because honestly, I am the one I love
If I’m selfless it’s a scam, because honestly, I am the one I love
If I’m selfless it’s a scam, cause honestly, I am the one I love
Outro
Will you still like me in the morning, wen i’ve sung my song?
Will you still like me in the morning, now i’ve sung my song?
